Her Day Before Yesterday

She sits in darkness,

Staring at the past.

She could almost live a moment again-

If she didn't try so hard.

If she tried to touch it,

She would fail to escape-

From the life she left behind

Without even realizing it.

Her needless anxiety to escape today

Is the only leash holding her

From the perfect world reflected

In her faceless gaze.

She'll rob herself tonight,

And blame the world tomorrow.

Her day before yesterday

seems so long ago.
