Forgotten Yesterdays





Forgotten yesterdays, serve to frame

The picture of you, that drives me insane

For candlelight sparkles its ember, deep in the night

As I bathe alone tonight, and remember, forgotten yesterdays



I know you are there, my heart and soul calls out for you

Screams inside with a horrific cry, and as I die, I remember…forgotten yesterdays



Words written with compassion, does very little to offer condolence

To a slow painful mourn

No matter how much they fashion, your picture, is tattered and torn

Each night like tonight, another memory is born,

For I remember…forgotten yesterdays



Oh how I wish you peace, may you never feel this feeling

Alone as you too look at the embers, of candle light, at night, this way

And remember…forgotten yesterdays



But somehow I feel you just may, remember too like I do in dismay

This picture of us, and our…forgotten yesterdays

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful...what more can I say? That poem was so full of emotion and pain...The kind of thing where at the end you have to remind yourself to breathe again.
