i was in the mIddle of an audition
i
hadn't thought about you in a while
i stood there with My shoulders back
i
injected confIdence into my very existence
and the girl next to me Sang a hymn
the same one sung as they laid you to rest
i felt the Strength leave my body
It was all i could do to stay upright
i fought the tidal wave
the helplessness
and the grief
and everYthing just stOpped
it still hUrts
but i can breathe again
