I remember you telling me of tomorrows,
How bright that they would be,
I remember that feeling in my stomach,
Piercing light shining infinitely.

I remember the visions of joy,
A million fluttering wings,
And promises I clung to,
Seizing pain like bee stings.

I waited for tomorrow,
For just a page to turn,
Standing stuck in time,
And endlessly I'd yearn.

For tomorrow was a dream,
Something I'd never find,
Yesterday was cruel,
Today was just a grind.

In this place I floated,
Between fantasy and fact,
My eyes merely deceived me,
My imagination was in tact,

Oh this purgatory,
Laughed more like a Hell,
Gnashing my teeth it cackled,
For it my soul to sell.

But I remembered your tomorrows!
All guarantees of brilliance,
Soft beats of my heart,
Grew to be resilient.

And Hell had become fearful,
For tomorrow cast it's shadow,
My purgatory was melted,
Shot the bullseye with my arrow.

That glowing that you spoke of,
Ablaze bolts cut through dark,
Hell had seen no fury,
Like tomorrow's eternal spark.
