Missing Yesterday

 

Looking forward to tomorrow with pain missing yesterday.

Childhood time wasted wanting to hurry to the good day.

The haunting voices of the wiser becomes reality.

Realizing the truth can be a cruelty.

Love is a drug, great to have it, but hell when it’s gone.

Others temporally fill the void, but none can make you forget one.

The higher the peak, the deeper the fall.

Pains of watching the end slowly come built a wall.

Denial numbs the heart.

Accepting the truth is only the start.

Empty feelings inside carried daily beyond sleep.

Thoughts of the past can quickly weep.

Dripping water of salt.

Feeling lost will never halt.

Greed and selfishness are a great fear.

All the while I wish you were here.

The things we had in common … The talks that we shared.

Never turning your back on me was a consistent feeling.

The pains of watching the end slowly come forward.

Denial was the medication of my heart.

Acceptance of the possibilities was a much to large of a pill to swallow.

The empty feeling inside that I carry daily.
