Tomorrow

I was lost to yesterday
She had fled to tomorrow
Distance growing between us
A foreshadowing of sorrow

Sticky sweet love
Intertwined in doubt
Spooning our secrets
As suspicion mounts

Her feet are cold
The sheets emotionally bare 
Refusing admission
To the requiem of a love affair

Soured by silence
Truth coalesced
Yesterday doesn’t want
Tomorrow to confess
