I don't expect anyone to know
What happened that day
Because I was alone for half of it
But I know
So please don't tell me that I don't.

I don't remember what my favorite color was
I know i liked blues
I remember the cold floor
I remember the way you smiled
I remember I still loved you

I remember your hands
Bony and frail
I don't remember which
pair of leggings I wore
I remember it didn't matter

I remember the walls
White
I remember they felt like a prison
I don't remember what my crime was
I remember my sentence
64 days

I remember how I felt
I remember I wanted your love
I wanted you to hug me and apologize
I don't remember what I wanted you to say
I remember you said nothing

I remember the following 10 minutes
The first three was numbness
The fourth and fifth was desire
The sixth and seventh was loneliness
The eighth and ninth was guilt
The last was grief

I remember three girls
I remember one shirt was pink
One shirt was yellow
I don't remember the third
I remember yellow held me
I remember crying in her arms

I remember bow tie being there
I don't remember her real name
We just called her bowtie
I don't remember exactly what she said
I remember I stopped liking her that day

I remember crying for my mom
I remember she was too far away to hear me
Or maybe she wasn't listening
I remember I was told to keel quiet
I don't remember who said it
Bowtie or Mo

I remember the fear
The kind that doesn't allow you to breathe
The kind that makes you want to die
The kind you remember
I remember crying so hard I threw up
I don't remember how long it took to pass out

I remember solitude
I remember having nothing for 3 days
Absolutely nothing
I remember hearing about that sort of thing
On tv

I remember wondering why it was my fault
And it must have been
Because I was stupid and careless
And anyone that loved me was lying
I don't remember when began
But I remember my life was over
