Emotions of tomorrow

Holly

Tomorrow's just another day that I keep fighting on
I miss my Aunty Pam, my friends Harry and James
Whether they're one year or three years gone
Somehow my life won't be the same, the emptiness - a constant drain

They say time heals but I just don't know
I live my life, get on with the show
Hiding the unstoppable tears and anger - My emotions smashed like glass that can easily shatter

I want to cry and scream and shout
At random times just let it all out
But sometimes the pain is too much to bear
I can't share it with mum....
I'm always too scared

But it's the cracks that show in my angry arguments
Old wounds that can't fully heal
Something my mum will never understand, as she's got no idea how I feel -
And she's not sitting here being me.

I'm sure she'd make out like it's not a big deal
I don't believe it - but apparently time does heal
I might get over it, one day, somehow
But when that will be I can't predict now
