"Empty Tomorrows"
We are ghosts
of empty tomorrows;
the bleak grey hues
overshadowing the sun
waiting for light
to break through,
waiting for more
than cold coffee
on the dirty counter,
unattended dishes piled up,
laundry scattered,
clean and soiled mixed,
food untouched for days
because nothing seems
to matter anymore.
Merely a shadow
in the unlit room,
curtains blocking out the world.
Sometimes the worst thing
is to open up and look outside
into the world we don’t
want to be a part of anymore
when this is what our life
looks like inside.
