Yesterdays

Emotions overwhelm me,
Haunting me for reasons;
24 months and 19 days have passed —
Longing’s destiny is vague.

What is a good solution
To combat fatigue of love
The other side is getting heavier —
Do I give in to emptiness’?

Yesterday you stripped me naked
Today you cut me into pieces
Knocked me out emotionally,
And perfected me mentally!

Now I see clearly;
It gives me more stability!
Realization dawned on me.
I doubted Yesterdays —
Do I need to trust today?

Am I longing for a soul?
Emotions do not need identity.
Face and body can live life,
With pretentions  of mind.


Life is now a roller coaster,
The wheel, turning and churning,
Never stopping for breath.
Do I trust today, to forget
My yesterday’s Dreams?
