Tomorrow at Five
April 15, 2010
He has to come home
She says he's not coming back
That he's six feet under
Entombed in stone
I don't understand
Where's the grey hair
The wide smile and open arms
His cheap but pristine suit
That smells of tobacco
It's already five
The train has arrived
Passengers roll out the grand doors
Snow falls all around
This bench is cold
He's never this late
I'll return again
I will be her when he comes
Tomorrow here at five
He has to come
Because I am waiting
He has to come home
He always does
