Empty Promises

isn't it funny how we say
'there's always tomorrow!'

when every moment of our life ahead
is like dice tossed on a board

what are the odds we live?
there is anticipation in every moment

yet we make plans for years later
we break hearts like we'd live forever

we hold back from making amends
we promise ourselves we'll be better tomorrow
