Closed casketNever can I see her againMy heart chipsMy favorite songI will never hear againAnother piece chipsThey try to take the casket to the carMy sister can’t take it thoughShe runs to the casketScreaming no no noI watchShe doesn’t want to let goAs they try to pry her offI chip againWe get into the carSilentlyMy heart chipsThey put her in the graveI know I won’t see her for a long timeA big chip chipsThe gates closeBehind the gatesMy heart hidesChipped and broken insideScared to be broken againScared to loveScared to come outButI live onChippedI pushed people backNever showed love or feelingOnly power, no painNo more love to showThis myself nowBroken in painDo not fearI will be here againPowerful with feelingsShowing myselfChippedAnd in painI won’t careI will be here once againI ride back homeMy home TuscaloosaI’m silentWatching the trees passI seeMothers and daughters having funI start to cryI suck up the tearsI say to myselfIt will be okayEven though I know I won’tIt’s been a week since the funeralI am home nowLying in my bedRepeating the poem I wrote during the funeralI look out my windowMy friend wants to hang outI say I can’tAnd shut the door
