If only heaven was a tomorrow away,
Maybe my heart would beat harder.
I sit quietly alive; an empty pulse
Praying for an unexpected ending
Only to be disappointed with each rising sun;
I survive on stale breathes
For the sun dims each fresh dawn
And the night begins to gently caress my soul.
Each day’s meaning slowly fading into darkness
As you search for the hope of a final breathe
If only it was a tomorrow away
The tears wouldn’t feel so heavy
As they shed inside the mortal misery over me
Raining against the thoughts who befriend me
With sole visitation rights
As the hide inside my laughter,
That repents any blueprints of suicide.
I must wait here broken and alone for death’s knock.
Am I that meaningless?
For it seems even death knows not my name.
If only tomorrow,
My eyes don’t see the sunrise
My voice didn’t echo in the world
My smile didn’t resonate in someone’s soul
My ears didn’t comfort someone
And my embrace didn’t save someone,
I would be missed. I know.
If only tomorrow didn’t exist.
Memories would dance amid where I walked,
Tears would water the earth,
My voice would still echo without sound,
And my peace would be forgotten soon after.
Nothing but a memory hidden amid dusty photos
Temporarily resuscitated in retold stories,
That paint me the way I never felt
If only tomorrow I didn’t exist.
