Tomorrow you can breathe
Today you burn your finger on the candle
The pain you feel makes the tide wash over you
And hides your tears
But never drowns your fears
And never makes you feel numb
nobody’s going to give you one single reason
To believe
That crying it out will mean more
So you look away
And run away
And unless you do the same as them
your truth will be revealed
The hurt will dig its fingernails into your skin
Whatever you wish will never come true
Because tomorrow never comes.

Gosh...you are prolific today, Pia. Nearly missed this one, but I'm glad I didn't.
Really admire your take on this week's IP. I'm completely stumped with it at the moment.
Really enjoyed this, so maybe tomorrow I will come up with an idea...although, as you say, quite rightly, 'tomorrow never comes';-)

There's hope yet, so when you wake up tomorrow, and there's always tomorrow, smile to yourself and laugh it off.
Great job.

Love the lack of punctuation, Pia - it makes the poem flow really well into that final line that packs a punch. Love the image of the candle as well!
