Today

Inside
Today
I crumble and think of you...

The ashes of your departure
Hangs high above my head.
And the cold atmosphere that roams
In my surroundings won't fade.

Beside me
Today
I look onto remaining hope, but

What is there to gain when feeling
Numbs me down with loss tonight?
It's the quiet, quiet descent that
Leaves me breathlessly clawing away today.

& yet maybe
Today
I can forgive myself, though

I can sense, with little emotion,
The eyes journeying towards the light inside the dark.
And there your spirit hangs, echoing from afar
Yearning for a silent heart that hasn't made its way back home.

And tonight
Perhaps tonight
Today will be an after thought when tomorrow inches by.
