Tomorrow's Yesterday

By Alacer_Cogitatus

When tomorrow comes,
will I remember today?
Or will it simply fade,
fade, so far away?

Yesterday, I can't remember.
Does it really matter?
In the great schemes of life,
A single day is like a paint splatter,

On an empty canvas.

Unless, of course, time is cut short.
And then, each day counts.
Will you regret the choices you make?
Or rejoice, in all amounts?

Tomorrow's Yesterday
Waits for Noone.
And yet, it hurts to leave,
Like the lost prodigal son.
