Time slips through your fingers like sand at the beach, Yesterday is just outta reach. But when I close my eyes a lifetime plays again, flashes of images from way back when. I try so hard to interact and find something to say, but I sit back and watch the movies play.
It’s hard to figure out if this is a blessing or a curse, but I embrace your visits fully wishing time could reverse. Seeing you smile, laughing, and playing in my dreams, gives me the strength to wake up through my silent screams. Then I awake in the usual way, my mind starts to race about yesterday. Yesterday never fades, there’s always more, regardless of how many locks bar the door.
I have recently left that door open, and speak about things that were rarely spoken. It’s true these things were kept on a shelf, I used to suffer silently all by myself.
Be strong, stand tall, and don’t let it break you, this cemetery of memories is more than just tattoos. Grieve the losses but embrace the time you were given, they may be gone but you’re still livin. Yesterday only haunts you as much as you allow it to, if you remember the good you are sure to get through. So I get out of bed, kiss my wife goodbye, and reflect on the dreams during my drive. I remind myself just how thankful I am, to have good folks around me, I can do it again.
Frozen in time is a memory that’s forever, do you ever forget the answer is never.
Yesterday even though it’s sad doesn’t have to be bad, hold on to all the good times you had.
Yesterday I was out of control and out of my mind, I can tell you it gets better in time.
Yesterday I found comfort in nothing but a bottle, running around always full throttle.
Yesterday fucking hurts that’s for sure, but today’s a little better I’m built to endure.
I’ll always think about what yesterday gave me, sometimes it makes you weak at the knees.
Tomorrow holds such a better promise, I look in the mirror and I’m reassured I got this!
