Tomorrow Is Too Late


today I hurt.


today I bleed.


today I want to die.



today I cry.


today I feel an endless ache.


today I want to cut myself to numb the ache.



today you point fingers


today you scoff and deride


today you laugh at my pain



today I burn my hands


today I slice at my arms


today I swallow the pills that will end it all



tomorrow you cry.


tomorrow you wonder why.


tomorrow, you will find, is too late.

"How can we reach a world we never touch?"

And I think that the first step in touching the world with love is to have an understanding heart...

I love you Brit.
