for whom i live another day

tired limbs

sprawled across a bed

too cramped to breathe,

too little for dreams

trembling hands

trying to grab onto every

single thing they find

only to let go again

tears fall ー

just like any other day

despair as a daily routine,

anguish served as breakfast,

lunch, snacks, and dinner

just like any other day ー

ー and then there’s you

you with the voice so sweet

it rings endlessly in my ears

enough to even cover up the

hateful words i’ve heard

more than enough of

you with a heart so full of love

that i may even come to learn

how to love like you

you with the smile so bright

perhaps bright enough to

scare away all

my

darkness

today is just like any other day,

except today

i have you,

and that’s all i need

my dear,

in life i have plenty of regrets

but you will never be one of them
