Here's To Today Poem by Tessa Richardson

So here's to today,
just throwing life away.
I'm waiting here, I'm jaded
I'm loving you, but I've faded.
You've watched me slowly falling apart,
You've waited for me, you've held my heart.
I've come around for you,
I'm falling down for you.
You've held me in your hands,
Understood what no one understands.
Why was this too good to be true?
Why did you fall for me as I fell for you?
I wish I could go, go back and change time.
I want to go back, to maybe change your mind.
'Forward, Forward, they march to death!
Now you can hear of your love's last breath!
He didn't die a hero, he was shot through the heart,
but he made us good money, yeah, he did his part.'
Why, love, why?
Is that who you want to be?
Is that what you want to fight for?
Please don't say you're doing it for me,
There's plenty you could do to give us much more.
You hold my heart
So if you die, I die too.
If you fall under gunfire,
know that I'm falling with you.
So here's to today,
to life wasting away.
There's hope yet for tomorrow,
I plead God for less sorrow.
