Ghost of Yesterday

 

Thoughts of yeserday playing on my mind
The emptiness deep inside was but a crack
Tears stream my face as the memories hit me
Fears lunge at me like starving dogs

I remember it was something I said or did
As always, that seems to push everyone away
My heart filled with love while my mind lives in shock
I know better but always seem to forget
Thus reliving the cycle of my life over again and again

Like an old dog, I will never learn nor go beyond the yard
Like the child, always curious and wanting things I can not have
Memories taunting me, Feelings I can not share as I like
The rain my eyes shed is real and I feel broken all over again

I know what love is but it does not know me
I know what life is but I do not know it
I long for a happiness that is just a fable
Not knowing how to make what I wish into reality

Value and worthiness, I am not
Love and cuddles, I crave
I am frail, I am weak
I am nothing but a memory, a cherished forgotten soul
