tonight

Today was as bright as a sunflowers petal,
but tonight is as cold as knuckles on metal.
Today I ate good... damn that hit the spot,
but tonight I sniff the air as flesh rot.
Today I had a friend that was so dear to me,
but tonight I cant hear his voice his face I dont see.
Today I had a plan for when we hit the states,
but tonight I'm trying to figure out our mistakes.
Today the smile in my heart was transmitted through my eyes,
tonight I can only frown as my battle buddy dies.
