"Yesterday and Tomorrow"

A broken heart

In the darkest

Of nights.

An open wound

Bleeding in

The moonlight.

One, two,

Three, four,

Words spilling out

Onto the floor.

Forming my once

Faded memory.

Hearts that break

And eyes that cant see.

Pain that pounds

Deafening my ears.

Words contorted

Swirled, and smeared.

Ink thats a sad

Blue and red.

Reminding me of

Thoughts once said.

Finger painting

In blood and tears.

Born from freedom

Happiness, and fear.

These are my thoughts,

Hopes and dreams.

Telling me life's not

What it seems.

Dying memories

And fading light.

Forever bound

By the night.

Of a dark and

Numbing cold.

Poems that are

A 1000 years old.

Still spoken now

Here today.

Never changing in

Their endless way.

Sometimes these

Thoughts are insane.

Driven by an

Undying pain.

Born from life

And countless sorrow.

That was here yesterday

And will be here tomorrow.
