Goodbye to Yesterday

Wombs once filled with blooming flowers

Now obscured by clouds and threatening showers

What is love when there is no heartbeat

The room filled with hatred and deceit

Into the shadows I tiptoe and creep

Slipping into bloodstained sheets

Tattered with the aroma of defeat

Through the mattress misery seeps

The deafening stench of rotten decay

Has overthrown and eaten away

At any aspirations of what was had yesterday

Like an untouchable dream on display

Composed to desecrate and betray

Abandoned in a petrified dismay

Silence spreads like the darkest night

Smothering all former communication

Twin flames no longer ignite

Under a hypnotic spell of sedation

Not knowing wrong from right

Words immobilized by justification

Lost dreams of love at first sight

My most oppressive realization

What passion once burned so bright

Is now a mirage of radiation contamination

I’ve lost my mind, my soul, my insight

Drowning out all illumination

Waiting for a glimpse of twilight

In the coldest of isolation

Possessed by foreign parasites

Immune to the abusive violations

Coinciding with the moonlight

Longing for your admiration

Hoping we can reunite

Leave behind and rebuild from devastation

So tightly I keep holding on

I never want to let go

I cling to this mystical phenomenon

Frightened by what waits below

I’d give it all to have you back

Cradled in my arms

Staring harshly past the zodiac

Far away from manipulation and harm

I was your beautiful firefly

Always there to light your way

Still staring deeply into the midnight sky

I’m still dreaming of that yesterday, I pray....
