There are no Tomorrows

A simple musing about a broken heart


There are no tomorrows when the day is long
and filled with sadness
there is only the slow counting of tears that fall never ending
onto the wet palms of lamination
where the weeping heart yearns for yesterday
that was lost to the empty heart of today
and causes time to be an unbearable purgatory
of tortuous emotions
that washed away the beauty
that once filled the eyes the heart the soul
this trinity lies in a state of mortification
and discontent
wanting to be buried in a ground of hopelessness
that comes with a broken heart
