Can't Say Goodbye to Yesterday

by The Wingless   Jan 28, 2006


I stare at the sky above me watching all the clouds go by.
And I think "what's wrong with me?"
Am I full of sorrow? Am I hurt and pained?
Or am I filled with love?

I walk by myself on the streets near by.
and ask every child I know,
"Do you think tomorrow will bring sun or rain?"

I can't say goodbye to my friend, not today nor tomorrow,
I will keep holding on until the end
Out of the darkness there is no other way
than the light leading to yesterday.

It's a place there that I'll find,
In a quiet peaceful warmth,
And a friendship I let slip away
I'll find who I was looking for today.
I'll find that person from yesterday.

Why can't everyone realize
The best things in life are free.
Sounds of laughter, one hug, or a smile.
So I know where your headed, I know where your gone.

I fall to my knees,
I fall like a rock,
Do not pass me by
Happily ever-after,
Please stay,
Make the clock stop ticking.

I can't say good-bye to yesterday, my friend
Because I know how good it has been,
Face it forever, here I fall, come what may,
In the old life of yesterday.

    I had to read that four times, so much to take in when just reading it once. There is a lot of truth behind it, particularly "The best things in life are free."
    I also liked how you rhymed only different parts of the poem, you have a very unique style. Awesome work.
