Poem
Yesterday music & lyrics by Joan May Donnelly Ellis VERSE 1: Yesterday came knocking at my door today Came so unexpected I was caught off guard ...didn't know what to say to Yesterday, As I hesitated at the door he strolled on in Confidence oozing from him as his lips widened in flirtatious grin CHORUS: I had no love left for Yesterday So why'd I let him seduce me with his charm Where was the inner strength Why can't you pull away I heard a voice say As I felt his heated fingers tiptoeing up my yielded arm While my soul screamed don't lets this happen My heart refused to heed her warning alarm VERSE 2: Yesterday insisted things would be different He said he'd changed...then winked as he gave my braid a familiar tug My body quivered as he nibbled on the back of my neck And eased me to the soft thickness of the living room rug REPEAT CHORUS VERSE 3: Yesterday smelled of a green forest after a down pour of rejuvenating rain fresh and wild. and intoxicating...... I felt my knees weaken knowing I wanted him as much as he wanted me It was morning when our satiated bodies untangled We showered together as I attempted to silence my heart's pain We dressed and he said he had to be going...with a hasty kiss Yesterday left as my heart bled tears of joy and fear...Joy that he was leaving and fear that I might never see him again.
