Christopher Berry Poet Rhyme

My Yesterdays

I watched the sun set on my life,
Knowing where it went awry;
I put you with my yesterdays
And promptly said goodbye.

I put you on the corner shelf
In a box of fading gray,
Then took one final look at you.
And tucked you far away.

I couldn’t stand the thought of you, 
So I purged each memory 
Of hopes and dreams and silent screams 
That you once shared with me. 

I thought that if I left them there
I could surely start anew
But all the pieces of my heart
Were nothing without you.

I put you with my yesterdays
And alone I face the end,
Thinking only of my longing
For my discarded friend.
