Yesterday's Tears
Sleeping in a bed replete with wilted flowers
Part of a bouquet of shanties and lofty towers
The air hangs heavy with past's fears
I slowly drown in a pool of yesterday's tears
Riding through the storm of life with a hope filled heart
Never did I imagine that one day I would part
With love, and all emotions that radiate joy
My heart, now, lying in a corner like a discarded toy
Fighting daily battles with my mind's demons
Trying to make sense of life's intermingling ions
When even the soft hand of love feels like a viper's coil
Feelings shuttling between uncertainty and turmoil
Passing time turns around and does smile
Asking what I gained for having gone the extra mile
All that's there to show is, my heart pierced with spears,
Yesterday's flowers and yesterday's tears
