As I lay in my bed,
Staring at the ceiling
It's as though I can feel what you're feeling.
My stomach tumbles and turns with fear.
Then wrenches with pain a moment later.
I know you're going through the same thing
And I can't help you
Just like I won't be able to help you tomorrow
I scream aloud
This just isn't fair!
They can't do this
Not to me.
But that's so selfish!
Another stab of pain
You must feel a thousand times worse
How can I be thinking of myself
When tomorrow they come for you,
not me.
Tomorrow.
Never has that word frightened me
Until now.
I don't want this night to end, and tomorrow to come
But I don't want to lay like this for eternity
either
But the choice is not mine
Time will press ahead
And tomorrow will come
And the earth will keep turning
But my world will stop
Until you come through the door
And I know you're alright
