Pains of Yesterdaythe pains of yesterday had gone away
but they have arose to see another day
they haunt me every minute of every hour
and when they strike i brace myself
i fight the tears that mine eyes wish to release
i fight them back with all my being
so that my day may go on without delay
they come to me at the most inopportune times
during lunch, school, work, home
to be quite honest, anywhere i go
i try to avoid them as much as i can
but they follow me, as if they are trying to speak
little reminders pricking me like thorns of a rose
pricking and pricking
they hurt as of now
reminding me of a time i genuinely smiled
that time is gone, as much as i hate it
but the reminders remain
pricking and pricking
as though i could have changed things
i fought as hard as i could
i tried everything within my own power
but, the fact remains
things didn't turn out as i had hoped
and the tears from the pains of yesterday
stain my pillow while i weep
