I will wake up tomorrow to be the first thing you see the light will singe your eyes and the bend to turn your neck will bloom pain but I will be there, by your side I'll be holding your hand tomorrow to be the first thing you feel making sure to squeeze it tightly to distract you from your head, your thoughts and I will comfort you warmly, by your side I'll speak to you softly tomorrow cracking whispers from a morning voice making a joke to see a smile, a sign and whisper that I love you always forever by your side I'll then shed a tear for you tomorrow when your tired abused eyes fall heavy prompting myself covertly to hide my sadness by wiping away salty water on my hand still cupped firmly by your side I'll pray for you unsoundly tomorrow while you drift deep into your beauty void once again making unregretful promises and offering self-sacrifices to something more powerful up above hoping it too, to be by your side then I'll kiss your forehead tomorrow soaking the cold of your skin to my lips trying to soak the painful memories from your mind and I'll tuck your blanket higher, and scoot my chair closer as I again fall asleep tomorrow, by your side |
