Tomorrow
~ They say if today is hell, there's always heaven tomorrow. But what if tomorrow is hell too? Oh how I wish today is just today. Because then, tomorrow might just be a better day.
.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.
What are you waiting for?
~ Waiting for tomorrow to come…
Why are you waiting for tomorrow to come?
~ Because that's the time when she said she will come…
Who is she?
~ My mother…
She said she will come tomorrow?
~ Yes.
Are you sure?
~ Yes. I am sure.
What makes you think so?
~ She promised me.
What do you think would happen if tomorrow comes?
~ My mother will come for me. And she will take me away…from here.
What would you do if your mother comes tomorrow?
~ I will run to her and hug her all my might.
What would you do if tomorrow never comes?
~ Nonsense. Tomorrow will always come. Tomorrow must come. It has to.
What would you do if tomorrow comes, and your mother isn't there?
~ I will wait for another tomorrow to come…
What if even if that tomorrow comes…and your mother still isn't there?
~ …
~ …
~ …
~ I…I…will wait for the next tomorrow… and…the next tomorrow and tomorrow again. *begins crying*
What if all those tomorrow comes again and again…and still she isn't here?
~ Wait again…tomorrow…she promised…to come.
What if… even if tomorrow comes…and your mother never comes for you?
~ ….i'll…keep waiting…
What if she never meant to come even if tomorrow comes?
~ ….
What if she's lying with tomorrow?
~ Lying?
What if she never meant to come back? What if she was lying to you?
~ Lying to me?
What if she gave you an empty promise? What if she wanted to leave you here?
.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.
Maybe she was just telling you what you want to hear. Maybe she was just telling you she was coming tomorrow so that you would stay. Maybe she had never meant to come tomorrow. Maybe she had never meant to come back at all. Maybe she doesn't want to come back at all. Maybe leaving you was what she had wanted. Maybe she didn't want you at all. Maybe she didn't want to see you again.
~ Mother, just by what you meant when you said you'll come tomorrow? Which tomorrow did u meant? When will that particular tomorrow comes? Because I'm starting to feel like I'm being left here alone, with your empty promises.
.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.- .-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.
You will never see her again. She is not coming for you. She doesn't want to come for you. She will not come for you. You are not leaving. You are not leaving with her. You are not going anywhere. You are not leaving this place. You are stuck here. You are going to live here. You are going to live here even if you don't like it here. You are going to live here even if you hated it here. But there's nothing you can do. This is your place. This is where you are going to live. This is where you'll spend the rest of your life with. This will be your home. This will be your refuge. This is the place you'll live your life. And you are going to like living here…love living here…no choice but to live here.
~ She isn't coming. You are not leaving this hell. This is where you are staying. For the rest of your life. This is reality. Live it. Love it. Hate it. Face it.

Maybe someday we will eventually have all the answer to our questions. Perhaps maybe tomorrow…
