It
was
September
eleven,
a
morning
I
will
never
forget
I
woke
up
and
saw
your
message,
my
heart
was
full
of
excitement
yet
You
said, “
My
love,
I’
m
at
the
hospital,
I’
m
ready
for
the
C-section
today.”
I
wanted
to
answer
you
quickly,
but
I
had
woken
up
too
late
By
the
time
I
saw
your
message,
you
were
already
in
that
room
Behind
those
theatre
doors,
my
darling,
I
never
knew
what
was
coming
soon
Oh,
Joyce,
why
did
the
sky
turn
to
grey?
On
the
very
day
you
were
supposed
to
bring
life
my
way
I’
m
standing
in
the
hallway,
waiting
for
a
miracle
sound
But
the
silence
in
this
building
is
the
heaviest
thing
I’
ve
found
September
eleven,
the
day
my
world
fell
through
I
lost
my
heart,
I
lost
my
home,
I
lost
my
love
in
you
I
waited
for
the
sweetest
phone
call,
to
hear, “
My
love,
your
son
is
here.”
I
never
imagined
the
next
phone
call
would
become
my
greatest
fear
The
phone
rang
out,
I
grabbed
it
fast,
expecting
joy
to
fill
the
air
But
a
stranger’
s
voice
told
me
to
come,
and
leave
behind
the
hope
I
bear
The
car
ride
felt
like
a
lifetime,
moving
through
a
hazy
dream
Trying
to
wake
up
from
the
darkness,
trying
to
silence
every
scream
I
reached
the
halls,
I
searched
for
faces,
I
searched
for
light
in
every
eye
But
all
I
found
were
lowered
heads,
and
whispers
underneath
the
sky
Oh,
Joyce,
why
did
the
sky
turn
to
grey?
On
the
very
day
you
were
supposed
to
bring
life
my
way
I’
m
standing
in
the
hallway,
waiting
for
a
miracle
sound
But
the
silence
in
this
building
is
the
heaviest
thing
I’
ve
found
September
eleven,
the
day
my
world
fell
through
I
lost
my
heart,
I
lost
my
home,
I
lost
my
love
in
you
They
told
me
you
were
gone,
they
said
you
gave
your
soul
for
his
I
don’
t
know
how
to
live,
Joyce,
in
a
world
where
you
don’
t
exist
I
look
at
him,
I
see
your
smile,
I
see
the
light
you
left
behind
But
the
hole
you
carved
within
my
chest
is
all
that
I
can
find
I’
m
sorry
I
was
sleeping,
I’
m
sorry
I
was
late
If
I
could
trade
my
breath
for
yours,
I’
d
seal
a
different
fate
The
autumn
leaves
are
falling
now,
just
like
the
tears
I
cannot
hide
September
eleven
comes
around,
and
brings
the
ghosts
back
deep
inside
I
visit
where
you
rest
your
head,
I
talk
to
you
in
softest
tones
I
tell
you
how
our
son
is
growing,
I’
m
shivering
down
to
my
bones
It’
s
been
a
year,
or
maybe
ten,
the
calendar
just
loses
pace
I’
m
still
that
man,
behind
the
door,
still
searching
for
your
loving
face
Oh,
Joyce,
why
did
the
sky
turn
to
grey?
On
the
very
day
you
were
supposed
to
bring
life
my
way
I’
m
standing
in
the
hallway,
waiting
for
a
miracle
sound
But
the
silence
in
this
building
is
the
heaviest
thing
I’
ve
found
September
eleven,
the
day
my
world
fell
through
I
lost
my
heart,
I
lost
my
home,
I
lost
my
love
in
you
Goodbye
my
love,
my
Joyce,
my
heart
I’
ll
carry
you
until
the
end,
until
the
day
we
never
part
September
eleven…
Just
a
morning
I’
ll
never
forget… (
Piano
fades
into
nothing) (
Final
somber
note
rings
out)
