So what if I decide,
To ignore tomorrow?
The days will shine on;
The sun rendering it’s care.
The affect of my ripple,
Gradually diminishing in air;
Legends are built by brute force,
Requiring strength not found here.
You pull from my coffers,
Emptied by your greed.
Leaving a debt only I can pay,
While you run free.
Used only as a distraction,
For your convenience.
Remember; a novelty rarely,
Outlives its season.
Who dictated that I,
Must be denied my desires?
Making all the right choices,
Yet still burnt by pain’s fire?
Are you to say whether,
The result is worth my tears?
If your smile outweighs the pain;
The anguish here laid bare?
So don’t mind me,
If I go on to ignore tomorrow.
For just like a water’s ripple,
So shall fade your sorrow.
