The fear of tomorrow

 

 

 

Tonight

 

 the hands of fear fondling my heart

 

 like a breeze on top of azure ocean’s waves

 

                                       when the ocean yet

 

                                      can’t feel the vast inside.

 

 

Again like last night

 

 I feel to cry your name,

 

                            but cry to feel my pain

 

 I love to forget tomorrow,

 

                          but forget to love today.

 

 

 

At the endless of my forlorn cave

 

I need you desperately

 

 And in a confusion of expectations

 

 I am so in fear of “what if tomorrow…”

 

 

 

 Again in tonight hush,

 

 like last night

 

 I must wait for tomorrow

 

                                like the ocean for dawn rays

 

 but what if tomorrow…without you.
