Connie Moore Poet Rhyme

My Yesterdays

My Yesterday

 I have so many yesterdays 
And they creep into my mind
Sleep won’t come tonight for me
I keep seeing you all the time

I sink farther into my pillow
Trying not to see those epic scenes
The tragic looks upon your face
And all the pain my actions bring

How is it  I didn’t seem to care
I swear it just can’t be true 
I would give anything to have you back
Just to say, “I do, I do, I do love you!”

But those days are gone and so are you
The silence now loud and clear
The pictures silently watching now 
Your voice no more will I hear

The regrets I have are many
Just like my yesterdays
And I can never have you back
I pay the price in so many ways

Yes I regret my yesterdays
And the pain I inflicted upon you
My mind my own prison cell
Hearing your words ring so true


And what were those words you spoke?
That now ring so true in my mind?
You said you will become my yesterday
And leave me and all this hurt behind
