Yesteryear
Yesteryear cannot deny
memories soft as lullabies
Dreams and wishes began to fade
as tomorrow overtakes yesterday
Wiser maybe foolish still
stubbornness strengthens will
Love and loss of life's way
haunts the stillness of today
Bitterness of overkill
sweetness of exciting thrills
Words spoken in haste
love lost never replaced
I see your face in places been
idle day dreams of us when
Selfish hateful me you taunt
as I pleaded was you I want
Gone from me you tore away
I knew you would not stay
the days grow short nights long
was loving you so, ever wrong
Found others to replace the need
but I looked in them for you to see
No matter how good they were to me
all my love was to deceive
The snow is falling winds are brisk
I walk alone in winters mist
Cold I feel as cold is my heart
yesteryear of you will not depart.
