Abandoning Yesterday
Abandoning yesterday,
time morphs into tomorrow.
And steps over dying dreams,
drowning in tears of sorrow.
When love abandons the scene,
fantasies morph into lust.
For untethered from my heart,
trust; has eroded to rust.
Paradise turns to desert
when the wind whispers your name.
For I'm reminded you left,
and now, nothing is the same.
Tattered, dried-out memories
tend to crumple at my touch.
And blow away with the wind,
not counting for very much.
The sun continues to shine,
and the sky's still just as blue.
But my reason for living
disappeared when I lost you.
