POEM| Yesterday isn’t Gone

Yesterday isn't gone. I hear it when a door slams shut.

Now, here's a truth I hate to admit I've been in the passenger seat

I thought I knew you but your words became insulting your behaviour became confusing your demeanor became controlling

I know about suffering because I’ve been there It comes with a lot of tears and sleepless nights

It’s been seven hundred and eight days
since I last heard from you
I wonder if you’re okay every day
and I still see you in my dreams

Whenever I was told
you left this world
for a better place
I never believed

Are you happy now
That we’re barely speaking
And walking on eggshells around each other
Is it better now
That I don’t know how you’re doing

My head is spinning
and I can’t control it
Looking for my voice
but I can’t seem to find it

Many nights I've prayed
for a minute
with you again

The scars of loss
have left me a mess
I’m dreaming while awake
and hurting every step of the way
