another day

this lock I need to undo
in order to turn on
that part in me to be strong
for you and for me
to get through the night
and be alright
tomorrow , tomorrow
when my bed will be half made
and your table not there, and
the smell of your cooking
will vacate the air
the clock will tell me
how long I've been lonely
and the sounds of the tv
will help soothe me
and everyday I don't have you
I will grow in a different way
and undo the mess you left
and the ties that need untying
and I will be strong
once I turn on
the part in me
that you didn't get to see
and the part in you
I loved, I will keep
to help me remember
the good times together
and then I won't resent
our days spent
and the life we made
will rule over the mess made
goodbye my love
I will be strong for us
and you will be okay
with someone else someday
tomorrow is, tomorrow is
another day, another day.
