Memories of Yesterday

Memories of Yesterday
By Kevin Robey
January 28, 2014
 
A light
So cold
Floorboards lined with mold
 
A day
So bright
It’s tearing out my sight
 
A crack
These scars
Just staying where they are
 
A chase
Dismayed
My audience will fade
 
I’m staying here just for the 
day
Where I just want for you to 
say
That you can take them all 
away
These memories of yesterday
 
We kiss
These thoughts
Worth every war I ever fought
 
We hold
These hands
With fingertips that understand
 
I breathe
We fall
On daydream roads we stall
 
A glimpse
Of you
And everything you’ll ever do
 
So I’ll just stay here for the day
One day soon maybe you’ll 
stay
I pray you'll take them all away
These memories of yesterday

Robert Pettit January 28, 2014 at 9:14 PM Nobody can take your memories away. Those are yours and only yours for life. Enjoyed the write. Laura Dee January 28, 2014 at 10:53 PM Thanks! Well the whole point is to take away those bad memories that continue to haunt you and have left emotional scars. It's about replacing those memories with the idea that love can be good again, and not just something that will lead you to pain
