Just yesterday…
Just yesterday, we were soaring like eagles,
Today, we lie dazed on the ground, a shaft through our hearts.
Just yesterday, the world looked so bright and beautiful,
Today, a drab greyness shrouds our hearts.
Just yesterday, we held hands so meaningfully,
Today, we sit across the table from each other, two strangers with nothing to say.
Just yesterday, we looked in each other’s eyes and saw paradise,
Today, our eyes reflect vapidity, blandness and hollowness.
Just yesterday, our smiles turned winters into sparkling springs,
Today, the smiles have been replaced by tears of despair.
Just yesterday, our lips trembled with new-born passion,
Today, they are blue, lifeless and lonely.
Just yesterday, our voices were as melodious as the sound of a gentle brook,
Today, they are raspy and parched and cracked and dry as a desert bed.
Just yesterday, we respected each other, like the knights of the round table,
Today, our names are dreaded whispers, dragging us down to the abyss.
Just yesterday, the thought of each other nourished our souls,
Today, the thoughts are harbingers of pure unadulterated pain.
Just yesterday, I was alive,
Today, I’m dead.
How are you, my once-sweet and darling lover-friend?

Sometimes people just stay on the wrong bus to long blues Your words penned the death of once loved well my friend. I prefer to not ever feel like that. I tasted that fruit once and it did not leave a good taste sad flower
