Yesterday's Laughter

by Cindy   Jul 31, 2009


Where is yesterday's laughter?
It seems to have slipped away,
leaving me sitting in silence,
only memories of those days.

Todays are filled with sorrow,
looming dark with pain and fear.
Thoughts of happiness eluding,
with no one to dry my tears.

Tomorrows lost their promise,
grim future for the weak.
All my dreams died with you,
now everything looks bleak.

Yesterday, today, tomorrow,
their turmoil etched on my face.
No laughter left inside me,
disappeared without a trace.

    It's a little depressive write. There is so much pain of losing the joy that reflects in your words. I liked the simplicity of this write. And the emotional aspect. A good write. But you don't know about tomorrow. May be it's waiting for you with a big joyous surprise!

    Where is yesterday's laughter?

    Todays are filled with sorrows.

    Tomorrows lost their promise.

    Yesterday, today, tomorrow.

    With thse four lines you've covered a whole lot of sadness my friend.The rest of words that made up these stanzas are as painful as
    the meaning behind it.
    Yesterda we laugh,
    Today we cry,
    Tomorrow we hope for a better day,
    but in reality, the emotional pain we feel inside are greater than any comfort we may get from our friends and family.
    I know only too well of your emotional struggles and from where this sad yet beautifully penned piece has derrived.
    Take care my friend and do have a safe, peacefull and wonderful day.
    Your friend always,
    Paul...

    "Where is yesterday's laughter?
    Sometimes the only thing is left are memories. I believe that a good friend that makes you laugh last year, will still brings laughter this year because what is pure might be fragile, but the good thing is it lingers forever. I love this my friend, well done, 5/5, kel.

    This poem was truly sad but written really good. The rhyme in your poem was good and you followed it all the way through and the flow was good as well. Just remember that happiness will come. Great Job. -Jad
