A day in May

Not so long ago

We all tuned in to see

What the OC was to show

It was said someone would die

And not make it through the night

I hoped and I prayed all episode long

That Ryan and Marissa would be alright

There was a graduation

And it was decided Kaitlin would stay

It all wrapped up to be

One heck of a day

Marissa was sailing away

Ryan was in trouble again

Marissa decided to help

And became one hell of a friend

Seth and Summer were happy

But really when are they not?

And they went to the Model Home

Which was once an empty lot

They played together for a while

The Marissa had to catch a plane

If only they knew

They were in for a lot of pain

Ryan started driving

When suddenly they see

A person following them

Drunk as can be

It was revealed to be Volchok

It was the beginning of the end

How can I explain this moment

To you my friend?

Volchok rammed them pretty hard

Ryan lost control of the car

They rolled over into a bunch of trees

Ouch, I bet that left a scar

So Ryan gets Marissa out

And carries her till he has to stop

She begs him to stay and dies

Ryan sheds his first tear drop

We were all pretty devastated

We cried all night long

Why did it have to end this way

This is just so wrong!

The show is now really over

The tears have been shed

There's one last thing I must say

About thoughts of Marissa being dead

She gave us three years

Of lots of drama and fun

I liked her a lot

But she wasn't liked by everyone

But it's bee a year

And everyone remembers today

Of the day the wonderful Marissa died

Last year on the eighteenth of May
