I Remember

I remember the day that I broke-

Like my grandfather’s clock that will no longer go,

Like the day that he died and death took his soul,

When I should’ve been strong but I let it unfold-

I remember the day, the day that I broke.

I remember the day that I burst-

When emotions took over like unquenchable thirst,

When my tears rolled down on my blue silken shirt,

When the oil was flushed and the driving was good-

I remember the day, the day that I burst.

I remember that day that I died-

When I looked in a Holy man’s eyes and I lied,

When the rose petals cut me and tore up my life,

When the beads came tumbling down from my side-

I remember the day, the day that I died.

I wait for the day when I’m brave-

When I sew up the hem of my life that has frayed,

When my baggage gets lost as my plane flies away,

When oceans will separate me from my pain-

I wait for the day, the day when I'm brave.
