Yesterday Clear

It was yesterday when it all came together Where the play on words and the slap in the face came together, and became something ugly Then something beautiful. It was a scary yesterday that I saw the truth and the lie and the reasons all at once Then I dreamed again. Then I saw them crappy dreams and got all scared They were there and I knew but couldn’t be too sure Yesterday my coffee was divine. I was honked at and alone I was in the road No one was home, then suddenly the phone rang And my hands were cold And I wasn’t alone And I wasn’t at home And he writes And she rubs And we chat and become a new face in the crowd Am I making this clear to you? -Jess
