Speaking Without a Mouth (Poetry Collection)

I Remember a Time

i remember a time when i was strong

when the nights were short and the days were long

friends were loyal and sisters were true

a time long before i met you.

i remember a time when i was young

singing to myself with a guitar, fully strung

ballet was my life and everyone always shared,

but i still never had a friend that cared.

i remember a time when i was okay

when i slept in the woods and the sky was gray

no one was with me but one little cat

i was happy, but no one could understand that..

i remember a time when i was depressed

someone broke my heart and ripped it out of my chest

i felt like a fool for believeing every lie

and did something that made me just want to die . . .

i remember a time when i was in hiding

in my room, in the house where i was residing

i was hurt so much, i just wanted to be alone

by choice, i didnt even use the house phone

now,

i remember a time when i fell in love

for real this time, like i'd always dreamed of

real love, and now for my heart to mend

i think i've found something that will never end*
