Why?

Boom! Crash!
“I love y…”
One tear comes,
One billion come out.
You’ve heard that this happens
But,
You never thought it would happen to you.
“It’s my fault, I know it is.”
“Why did we have to fight?”
Guilt burns and weeps inside you,
!Death!

A different take on Maddie... From the way I see it, this is from the point of view of someone in a relationship (can't tell if it's platonic or romantic from the wording...) that is ripping apart at the seams---

Or, wait, I read it over again (didn't understand the first line) and thought to myself, is this about someone dying in a car crash?

I love the last two lines, I think they're really profound: "Gulit burns and weeps inside you,/!Death!" I don't know if you purposely put the exclamation point there, but it works perfectly. Great job, Maddie. Explain please?
