Tomorrow
Fae
There's a poem lurking in my mind,
But the words I can't seem to find.
There's a feeling ripping at my heart,
And it's slowly tearing me apart.
There's a plea burning in my eye,
Everytime I drop my guard and cry.
I just want someone to read between the scars,
Someone to see my dim light among glowing stars.
I want someone to see the tear glistening on my cheek,
I just need to find that someone that I seek.
My heart grows cold as beneath the moon I wait,
Wondering if an ever setting sun is my fate.
I'm terrified of waking one day only to fall,
Terrified to find that I wasn't asleep at all.
I'm afraid of finding the stars I wish on so hard,
Are just the glowing headlights of a passing car.
I don't want to believe every night I spent in prayer,
Has brought nothing more but empty despair.
I'm so tired of this never ending sorrow,
I'm so tired of forever hoping on tomorrow.
All those memories of yesterday,
Continue to haunt me still today.
And I'm sick of thinking everything will be all right,
If I can just make it through one more lonely night.
This final strand of hope is fraying,
And still, no one hears what I am saying.
So I wrap my trembling arms around myself,
Stick these thoughts back on that dusty shelf.
I dry my cheeks and turn away,
And hope to make it through another day.
But when I face the facts I have here,
I realize I'm not going anywhere.
What difference could another day make,
When every day till now has been a mistake?
And when all is said and done -
Maybe I won't let tomorrow come.
