Perhaps Tomorrow

I close my eyes and hope perhaps tomorrow, I can lose this pain and shed this sorrow. All I have left is myself to forgive, Pick up the pieces and learn how to live. I left behind all the things I loved most. But with the darkness they appear as ghosts. I try to pretend it is only a lie, I know in my heart I forgot how to try. I know what is and what can’t be. Yet in my mind I can still see. All of the things just like before, Then the wind blows and slams the door. I start to feel trapped as the walls close in. I know to escape I need only begin. Take one step and leave it all behind, Try to embrace the new things I find. The sun rises and peeks through the windows, The light chases away all of the shadows. If I close my eyes will this all disappear? Just bring me back to this place that I fear. If not today, perhaps tomorrow, Can I pay back all that I borrowed? Suddenly I listen and hear a bird sing, Inside these notes, peace it does bring.
