The Day That A Piece Of Me Died
May 19, 2014
That summer, that trip that didn’t happen
She was young, too young
That day, a Saturday, she was pale, white pale
A drink, someone got her a drink
She was young, too young
Too late, the drink was too late
Bathroom, she was trying to throw up
An ambulance came, sirens wailing
Bathroom, she was trying to throw up
Too late, the drink had been too late
A chair, they took her to a chair, then outside
Pale, she was pale white
That summer, that trip that didn’t happen
That day, that took my mother from me
Forever etched in my mind
Fear and emptiness is all that was felt
