Tomorrow is Borrowed

Live in present tense

Dedicated to my missing friend who's from Syria and lives in Turkey

Tomorrow is Borrowed (Original poem by Monique)

It's been three days. Where have you been?

You said you'd always be there, we will win

It's been three days, and I'm still not used to this

My heart is breaking every single moment I exist

It's been three days since Mother Nature took your country down

What am I supposed to think when you don't answer and clown around?

It's been three days, seriously, where have you been?

Laughing through the pain is simpler than insane worrying

It's been three days, and how have you been?

Did the ground collapse around you, and are you sheltering?

It's been three days since I've heard your voice

You wanted me to meet her, and I said I will tomorrow

But tomorrow never came, and I realized that from time we borrow

it's been three days since I've heard anything

Your laugh, your jokes, your silly antics

It's been three days, the longest it's ever been

It's been three days, I keep hoping you're still living
