ASHES OF YESTERDAY

 

to this we can all relate 

all intended sorrows gone to waste 

fresh migraine still intact 

our pains well stacked 

those memories still comes in play 

hearts now fragile and frail 

boots will forever remember where we dread

destinies smeared 

ashes of yesterday, a once beautiful state 

we gladden like it’s our first date 

but innocence rode on us in rodeo 

now we are stained canvas in a studio 

something in us died unannounced

here we are, bitterly denounced 

the past rerouted us to this depth 

a dirge for your soul in debt

a little bit of pain, a necessary dose

we sniff sadness via our nose 

ashes of yesterday still our brunch 

our lives in motion, no brake no clutch
