If Tomorrow Starts Without Me

By Maryll Princely

If tomorrow dawns

And I am no more

Know that I leave my morrows to you

So please do not let your soul burn

As I finally put mine to rest

I have lived in chaos for far too long

If not you, then my havoc I shall gently strip away

My love, from you I will remove my pain

Although it means I will fade

You are no longer chained

But please, dear lover, do not forget me

Our echoes of laughter

And volumes of silence

At least in memory let me thrive

And dance across the recesses of your mind

Remember my smile

Know that it was only for you

My missing piece, my love

My final breathe, I wish I shared it with you

So please, store me in the depths your heart

And not lost in time’s cruel legacy

For if not in you

My dead heart would no longer beat again
