Remember Today?

it's all too soon you hear that cracking sound

and the shadows come racing across the ice

softly saying it will be alright

cause this is not the way you'll be coming back

remember the day hell froze over?

when whispers fell like snowflakes and the tears of the angels danced around our words

because today is a bleeding heart pouring empathy over the cauldron of time

because today is a martyr sleeping in the doorway of regret

because today is the twist of lime in a glass of dust

remember the day the levee broke?

after the demons went to lunch grumbling about the mandatory overtime we caused

faintly in the distance you hear the cracking

restless emotions scan the area for shadows

no, that is certainly not the way back

moving forward into the past

tripping into hello when we can’t seem to remember how to say goodbye

because today is never coming back
