Yesterday's Dreams

Somebody whispered,

Their words meant nothing.
Lovers once kissed
In a time for loving.

People once prayed

When prayers were heard;
And nobody faced
The things that they feared.

Days passed like thunder

Dividing the air;
You see people blunder,
Forgetting to care.

It’s hard to continue

When life’s lost its meaning;
And who will forgive
The look that’s deceiving.

You look in the mirror

And don’t recognise
The face before you,
The pain in the eyes.

When whispering words

You so long to hear,
The phrase ‘it is over’
Touches your ear.

While other ones suffer

We cannot forget
The feeling within us,
The pain and regret.

But it’s too late for guilt.

The die has been cast.
We can’t change the future
Or re-write the past.
