look at our yesterdays


walk down asphalt

littered with broken glass

walls are scarred with graffiti

and a car has run out of gas

motorist sounding his horn

to hurry others on their way

so he may have more time

to enjoy his day

 

yet somewhere in this cyclic maze

i hold you close to me

my head resting on your breast

i close my eyes to pain i’ve known

and reflect on years of sad seeds sown

 

i find no solution

no point

but to turn my face to your flesh

and cry

until the emotions are dry

when i look up at your soft face

i know they had it all wrong

but i’m told such is life

 

i just wonder what would have been

had we all stopped the motion

and held each other

but we didn’t

and look at our yesterdays
