Yesterday Night

LET GO…you have nothing left to hold Except this piece of gold From my heart to yours… The predator scores… You’re lost and failure injects bad luck into you And you’re ashamed of your sores…it’s true Isn’t it? But that was long ago… When you fell into your own pit? You shine so beautifully…don’t try so hard Hello sunshine…it has been years since you haven’t rose from depression But, you finally got through the war and you won…it’s over with…you made a good last impression On your friends before they kissed their demises…don’t be miserable, beloved bard Beauty was flying and it never dried from sight But that was many years ago I woke up on a fresh morning…on a clean slate Hello moonlight…it has been years since you haven’t disappeared from sight But, you finally lost the battle of survival…and you must accept your failures and move on with life…become friends with the sunlight Before it loses its appealing effulgence…before it faces crisis…I’m happy in my optimistic state Hope was abiding near our side during divine flight But that was thousands of decades ago You and I should run away… So we can both shine like the sunrise that welcomes a new… Crystal-clear day! But I can’t have you…remember…you rejected me… Oh, now the truth shimmers and unravels secrets that you’ve kept away from me The truth is as clear as day - honey… as the gleaming sea… Producing waves of uncertainty… within a single millisecond – I witness your auras reflecting worthless worry But that was only yesterday night…that contrite night Not many years ago… I had fight to good fight for your safety ’cause you were uptight <.< >.> Where’s your passionate glow?
