I Remember the Day

I remember the day I fell to the ground and couldn't get back on my feet.
I remember the weight of the pain, the faintness of my heart, slowly cracking open, a burst in my chest, my legs, my feet.
I couldn't go anywhere, couldn't hide, couldn't run.
Disarmed, you had won me over.
Defeated by my own game, my hopes and fears, I burnt my bridges in the faith they would desire no more.
