Tomorrow (n) - The day after today, a new day

Hopefully it will be better. You know it won't be but you still dare to dream. For years you've been living under his sky, on his ground, in his world. Whatever he wants, he gets, whenever he wants it. You cannot deny the one who controls your existence. No, the only way is to wake up to the horrible and painful reality you know deep down is waiting for you. It was never you he wanted to love, never you he cared for, it was everything you could give him. Once he has all he wants he's done with you, moving on and leaving you in a false hope that maybe tomorrow will be better.
Good luck, you're a fool. Tomorrow won't be better, it never is. You're only choice is to come back to the reality you dread, out of that once perfect world. It hurts, you feel your flesh melt from your bones and your mind go delusional from the pain. You go mute. It doesn't matter what words you form... he won't care. You find yourself alone. Drowning in a pool of questions. "What did I do wrong? What could I have done differently? How could I have prevented this?" and then they become worse. "What's wrong with me? Am I not pretty enough? Smart enough? Funny enough? What do I have left to live for now?"
There's the question. What's left? You're in pain. All you feel is the hurt. All you see is memories of the past everywhere you turn. There's a glimmer of light coming from somewhere but you can't find it in the room of mirrors you're trapped in. You become confused and fall. There's no hope now. You're scared of tomorrow, what pain will it bring? How much more of this can you possibly endure? None. Your mind is set, the days meld together as you wait for your demise. The fight is over, you lay helpless and wait for the darkness to overtake you, you'll never find out where that glimmer is coming from.
You close your eyes and pray. God is all you have left, and that's the way He prefers it. There you'll find love, but you can't feel it. Everything still feels cold and damp in your world, but the light begins to shine brighter and brighter the more you ask for help. There's only one thing you can do. Run to it and know you'll never go back. You'll never forgive the one who took everything you could give and then threw you down. Never turn back to that, you're in a new world now and it's yours to dream up, you're in control and no one can hurt you there. So stay and, for once in your life, just breathe.
