If tomorrow starts without me

Shallom_M

If tomorrow starts without me

everything will still be the same

The sun will rise and set

the moon will chase after the sun

Maybe the sky will cry for me

 

if tomorrow starts without me

everything will still be the same 

the same game that everyone has been playing since birth

the alarm that wakes them up from their dream

with a scream of frustration 

the sun that shines through the slits of the curtains 

the play of the mind that manipulates them to sleep off 

 

if tomorrow starts without me 

everything will still be the same

the breakfast stain that decorates the office uniform 

the usual grumbles and yelling while driving 

the same fake smile after arriving 

 

if tomorrow starts without me 

everything will still be the same 

or will it?

will there be anyone who will cry for me 

except for the sky

will anyone's morning be different 

because of my departure 

will anyone remember me

when they see things that I used to love

 

if tomorrow starts without me

everything will still be the same 

like the sky that used to shine because of the stars

used to

it used to shine

not anymore 

where are the stars?

where did they disappear to

should I follow them

maybe the place they went to will be peaceful 

away from the voices that are ringing in my ears

away from the judging eyes 

 

if tomorrow starts without me

will everything still be the same

or will it be different 

will anyone be sad

or will they be happy

 

 

if tomorrow starts without me

what will happen?

    God knows.

    Those with the skill to be aware
    will miss you but not be able to show they care
    your poems you write will cease
    we will hope you rest in peace
    your words comfort and informs us true
    of course we will miss you
