Rapid Climb Poems | Examples


Yesterdays

Who does your past belong to today?
Not me anymore since we parted ways

Constantly wondering if you’re doing ok
Thinking about our yesterdays

The timing was off when I was your past
Did all we could to make it last

That brief time still unsurpassed
In my mind there’s no contrast

If we’d met later, at a different time
We could have made it, it might have been fine

The love we shared, complete, sublime
We were a shooting star after a rapid climb

Too much distance, too much space
Logging miles, to be in one place

It was worth it for your embrace
The look of happiness on your face

It wore us down, tired us out
Tore us apart, started our doubts

Too much work to go that route
That’s what the end was all about

I hope you’re happy, and you are well 
We both moved on the past now quelled

We could meet again, only time will tell
It is a thought that sometime dwells

Who does your past belong to today?
