Yesterday

He was once so charming, so perfect
His smile so blinding, so captivating
His humor, his laugh are only two things that I miss
It'd take me forever to write down the list

And even if I did my tears would stain the sheet
Collapse from betrayal, collapse from defeat
I remember his words that I don't want to replay
They echo in my head as if it all happened yesterday

I want to feel his warmth when it was me he would hold
Everyday since he left me I'm alone in the cold
Even when it's sunny outside my heart can't believe his words are true
I'll never realize what he meant when he said "I don't love you."

He's the ashes of memories in the stone fireplace
A mask to hide his feelings, just a poker face
I don't want to move on but I won't, wanting, stay
My life was ruined yesterday

My stardom is over I can't touch the skies
I'm only a black hole who fails when she tries
Can't escape the darkness, lost in outer space
Don't want to go any further, just walk in place

I sitting here staring where your footsteps are gone
Why does time move so slowly, the day is so long
I'll never be alright, I'll never be okay
The pain is still here like it was yesterday

I wish life was perfect like the tiled squares on the floor
But it's not so I don't want to continue life anymore
I'll never forgive you, I'll never forget
I won't let you off because you are in debt

And I can't stand that innocent look in your eyes
I wish I was free like that bird there that flies
There is a price that you still need to pay
For that broken heart that you bought yesterday...

    Promise ... sing

    Prescient beyond her years with an impressive potential hardly handicapped by eleven years of smiles. From a technical - in the poetic sense - this poem will doubtlessly be revisited in time

    He's the ashes of memories in the stone fireplace
    A mask to hide his feelings, just a poker face
    I don't want to move on but I won't, wanting, stay
    Life was ruined yesterday

    In the changes suggested for the final couplet after an excellent start whose polish few attain, let alone at the author's age, wanting should be interpreted in the sense of 'lacking'.

    Let the poem lie as it is until you start rewriting everything and the rough diamond will sparkle through time

      I changed it to your requests. If I don't review for more of your poems I will slap myself, ashamed. I don't deserve your praise...
