She knocks upon tomorrow’s door
weak and weary from the fray
gathering arms from future store
to battle demons here today
Clashing with agents of time
reluctant to extend life’s lease
serving penance without a crime
a sentence without release
Pale blue eyes have seen too much
vibrant curls reduced to skin
the smile belies her fevered touch
and the raging beast within
She borrows strength without remorse
choosing hope over sorrow
trusting in an altered course
through the power of tomorrow
weak and weary from the fray
gathering arms from future store
to battle demons here today
Clashing with agents of time
reluctant to extend life’s lease
serving penance without a crime
a sentence without release
Pale blue eyes have seen too much
vibrant curls reduced to skin
the smile belies her fevered touch
and the raging beast within
She borrows strength without remorse
choosing hope over sorrow
trusting in an altered course
through the power of tomorrow
