Song of Yesterday
“ It's gonna fall….Hammer, you know, Hammer To Fall
While you're waiting for the Hammer To Fall
Give it to me one more time “ By Brian May of QUEEN
I listened to love for years still feeling the pain.
Pulling back the cover Crying out in vain.
Silenced, I feel the pressure on my heart.
The truth belongs to yesterday, I didn’t feel it start.
Breathing isn’t easy, I need to soar through the sky,
Bitter nights with burning heat I ask the reason why.
Ghostly images, crumbing palaces, flags fly, sun returns.
The memories of yesterday but the memory burns.
Reached rock bottom is it a dream, need to be free.
Is this man down here, the drunk in jail really me.
Need to get away.
To reach my yesterday.
This poem was inspired by 'Song of Yesterday' by Black Country Communion
