Yesterday

Yesterday took my youth Each scene scripted In blood, sweat and years Laughter lived under the stairs Only brought out on special occasions. We would dine and say grace for tomorrow Yesterday stored my mistakes Regurgitated memories to drive the future me To believe that today is possible My present tense, my now Though as each word is written It is now my past Did that second, that minute, bring to fruit Teach me anything or was it the musings of a fool Whose path is drawn in sand Yesterday, why do you taunt me As my frame abandons me, my spirit still dances under the snow moon. A child who dreamt of more, but as life evolved the sand just trickled to air Regret awaits tomorrow, today was never there! Yesterday took my youth!
