December.
Unharmonious music clanged
Out of my piano, I lost myself in it
I raged in it, then wept in it
Though no tears were outside
my eyes
I am so alive, so free
Yet this still follows me:
Had she lived,
I would not
I took my sister's place in the world
And the world forgot
I lived
And try as I may
I can't help but remember
Instead of a birthday in April
The birthday of my parent's youngest girl
Ought to be in December
Out of my piano, I lost myself in it
I raged in it, then wept in it
Though no tears were outside
my eyes
I am so alive, so free
Yet this still follows me:
Had she lived,
I would not
I took my sister's place in the world
And the world forgot
I lived
And try as I may
I can't help but remember
Instead of a birthday in April
The birthday of my parent's youngest girl
Ought to be in December
