If tomorrow wasn’t coming
I wonder, could I say
All the things I have to say?
If one morning the tears filled my lungs
Would the flies even want me then?
Not ever is a morning
Ever kind enough to greet me
I’m walking on this earth
The one that wants to beat me
If tomorrow wasn’t coming
I wonder, would you love
Would you love me then?
The oceans couldn’t hold
The amount of blood I’d shed for you
We paint things gold to hide
Everything we don’t want to see
I cannot find enough gold in the world
To paint over this pain I feel
I cannot make this go away
If tomorrow wasn’t coming
I would be happy, that I can surely say

I can relate to your feelings.  I honestly believe that some people hurt more intensely than others.  I can clearly detect your despair in this poem.  But, the good news is, as long as we hold on, we never know what tomorrow is going to bring.

So lord I see you grinnin' must be grand always winning....AIC

So much emotion written here. Very good

A friend, like a candle, is most needed in the darkness.

If nothing is something
then everything is
our thoughts and feelings
and all that exists.
