Love Poem: Yesterday

Written by: Jo Bien

Yesterday

the lights went out and you're long gone
things that once mattered don't matter anymore
I told you all the things that I wanted to say
what is past is past and I'm your girl from yesterday

the days stretch long and the nights are even worse
messages left on my phone are always short and terse
my perspective didn't take in all you held at bay
the calendar moves forward but I'm stuck in yesterday

my heart is gonna hurt for just a little while
and when I see your picture it sometimes make me smile
I guess the words I love you kinda got in your way
nothing is left for you when you think of yesterday
