tomorrow

the sand washed away
the bruises
the black and the blue
as the tide collided
toward us leaving nothing at all

as time escaped
us standing
back to back
in the autumn
sky fading with us

survivors of ourselves
the common demon
we faced, so defiant
tore us apart
a piece at a time

never seeing who
we really were
but somehow knowing
tomorrow was nothing more
than a memory undone

the wind peeled away
the bruises
the black and the blue
as the storm crashed
into us both leaving nothing at all
