Think back on my yesterdays
All the little things that could have changed
I'm staring myself down in the mirror
As all doubts and regrets are becoming clearer
And it's tearing away
My choices are my past and I don't know why
I try to go back before I realize
That every single breath that I've made is already taken
By all yesterdays
I sit and stand by for another breakdown
My concious is back for another shake-down
And it's finding everything that I hid all too well
From my knees to the floor for another breakdown
Well, I'm stuck in the middle and I don't know to lean
To the left, to the right, nothing's what it seems
And all I really know is my life is fading
For whatever that means
I was so still while your words were moving me
I got no where, but you got the best of me
You've taken it and ran as I would like to
But I sit still while your words move me no where
Drift into a coma where I can forget everything
Forget your name forget your voices
And forget all those long-lost dreams
I'll forget they were with you,
Nameless one, as my life comes unglued
Revealing a clumsy card house
Ready to fall apart without notice
Please tell me what you think

The third stanza is my fave!

Heres something you could change, though I like this stanza.
My choices are my past and I don't know why
I try to go back before I realize
That every single breath that I've made is already taken
By all yesterdays
Take out the first That in the second line, maybe?
Alltogether though, this is a good poem for the first writen in years.
Prehaps somewhat cliche, though I like the last stanza refering to your life as a clumsy card house.
Thanks for shareing.

the second line refers to the third line.

Personally, I would tend to agree with Kiwigirljacks...there is an awful lot of pain and emotion expressed here (I would hope that if it was written from personal experience, it was cathartic for you) and I am really drawn to the last two lines. Love is like that - one day things are smooth & content and the next, well, annilated. Good job.

Not horrible at all!! A lot of deep emotion in this... of looking back and questioning and of pain of losing someone who dreams we built upon.
Really felt that fourth stanza... definitely at that place myself!!
Great write!
