there will be a day
when your name
no longer hurts
for me to hear
when your face
won't run ice through my veins

there will be a day
when i can go to all the places we've been
and not feel as if
it is now half empty
something worthless now
something i need to paint with new color

there will be a day
when this won't hurt
and the vortex in my chest
the nightmares in my head
the tears upon my hand
will all have finally gone away

but again
it will not be today
