Retrospect

 

A bit of yesterday fell today

Bared its teeth,

Showed promises it has yet to keep.

 

A bit of yesterday breathed down my spine.

Whispered words,

I used to believe all the time.

 

A bit of yesterday knocked on my door,

Clawed its way in,

When I refused to hear its lore.

 

A bit of yesterday filled my thoughts

“Here have more”

Decided to live there, ate up all my core.

 

Yesterday, little by little,

Forgotten and neglected.

Yesterday is but a memory, a torrential conscious regret.
