Tomorrow

I want to wake up 
tomorrow with a soul, 
hold my glass of wine -
with grace and imperfection. 

People come and people go 
but the words we speak 
are always here no matter 
how broken they are 

I want to say 
I'll love you but what if 
you leave me behind? 
All I'll have is my empty glass of wine-

Maybe, I'll find myself 
as imperfect as they come- 
my hair down to my shoulders, 
teeth turning purple from the wine 

Hold onto to what matters 
to your silence and your truth 
embrace the fear that comes 
as then you'll come undone 

you might as well, 
see yourself 
alone in your own company- 
and find yourself tomorrow
