Ghost of Tomorrow

by Just Sierra   Mar 1, 2005


Excuse me if I was wrong
For investing my faith in you
Your love didn’t last long
How come? I never knew

But all I know is that I was true
My heart, body, soul and more
Were all devoted to you
But you crush my heart on the floor

I went shopping one day
Doing my normal routine
When I came home
There was something so obscene

Clothes were thrown on the floor
Her howls of my once bliss
I could hear behind every door
I just knew I couldn’t take this

I retrieved a gun
And barged right in
I spoiled your fun
But my heart ached within

It hurt me even worse
To know who this woman was
I pointed the gun at them
There’s no helping what a friend does

They screamed with pleas at my face
I released this mad woman within
I pulled the wh*r* out of my bed
Knowing I couldn’t win

My husband’s eyes
Watched me all the way
They whispered silent apologies
Things they couldn’t say

It was then and there
I saw it in his eyes
Finally I found the truth
That was hidden in all of his lies

He never wanted me to know
Never wanted to make that permanent vow
The one of marriage and eternal wandering
The one he was breaking now

Tears streamed down my face
As I told him it wasn’t so
I told him that I wanted him forever
That I just couldn’t let him go

I couldn’t live with this burden
The one he threw on me
I felt and thought so many things
Things they couldn’t see

So as thought these many things
The gun in my hand, I felt its weight
The glare in my husband’s eyes
I could feel the hate

I lifted my gun hand up
Up to reach his chest
I told the girl to leave, never come again
Smiling my very best

Of course she ran
She ran so long and far
I waited silently until
I heard the squealing of her car

And then I looked at him
The man who meant so much to me?
How could I have ever thought
Of putting a bullet in even one knee?

His naked body, pale and silver
Gleamed under the blackened light
His apologies began to stream
None of them sounded right

But if I shot him right here, right now
He’d never ever creep
I’d have to put myself with him
Together, forever we’d sleep

So with a smile on my lips
And a saddened string of goodbyes
I put an end to that mans life
And all of those fu**ing lies

I landed a perfect score
The bullet between his brows
Then I pointed it at myself
Reciting our eternal vows

Then, I pulled that fu**ing trigger
With so much force and brutality
That I ended my anger, my pain, and my sorrow
And over all-my mortality

But you see…….
Even though I’m dead
I still walk that blazing house
With things running through my head

Sometimes I renact
The heat of all my sorrow
Maybe I’ll show my audience again
After all, I’m the ghost of tomorrow
