My Redemption
I'll never forget this day,
This day of pain,
The pain of her ever going away.
Just waking up,
Feeling something was wrong.
Ringing her phone,
Not getting an answer.
I couldn't hear her voice anymore.
So I called, I called, and I called.
That feeling of being on edge increasing
Until it stopped.
I had no choice but to call another
To only hear she was in the hospital.
It all came crashing down.
I remember waiting for her at home for hours.
I hated this feeling,
I hated feeling this pain,
I hated feeling like the world was on my shoulder.
Maybe I'll call this my redemption,
Maybe I'll call it a part of this song,
Maybe I'll call it the day it all came crashing down.
She shouted at me,
She was stern,
But right now, I wish she could be doing the same.
