[Poème] The Day After Tomorrow

I am waiting for the day

after tomorrow.

But tomorrow never comes

and today never ends.

I wish I could sleep

till the day after tomorrow.

But I can't close my eyes

and I don't have dreams.

I wish I could find my way

to the day after tomorrow.

But I can't read a map

and I have lost my compass.

I wish I could be warm

till the day after tomorrow.

But my sky is dark

and my Sun is missing.

I wish I could be alive

for the day after tomorrow.

But I am so tired

and I have lost my strength.

I am waiting for the day

after tomorrow.

But tomorrow never comes

And today never ends…”
