Today!

Today the sun bathed me with heated indifference
and the breeze wrapped its cold hands on me
Today I woke up from a fairy tale.

I forgot the world in your embrace
I skipped and skimmed and surfed through life
But today I washed up the shores of reality.

Through the humdrum of your love
A gainful of doubt scratched the glass
Today the world overtook me.

A handful of sand shattered the glass
I stood between an ocean and a beach
Today I met you on the beach.

We both met at the beach
Unprotected by love we huddled together
Today we spent the night amongst shattered glass.

We both breathed the mist of resignation
Of given up hope, of degraded humanity
Today we saw the world, naked in its hypocrisy.

Today is not a dream anymore
Tomorrow the harsh sun will punish us
Today, from now on, I just want to sleep.
