POETICbug_yesterday

I was there and you forgot,
I am gone when you remember,
How much you crave my return,
You get nothing but to mourn,
So don't you again forget me today,
And remember until I'm yesterday.

  1. Quite a regretful feel, but it sounds like the narrator is taking control of the situation.

    1. Thanks for visiting POETICbug, Nick :)
      Yes, the narrator is trying not to repeat the mistake previously committed.

  4. I love the poetic heart! At first I felt this was written over unrequited love, but my whole experience shifted if it was concerning death. Or is this about God? I'd love to know which of the three (or something else?) you were pondering.

    1. I wrote it over a generic emotion, nothing particular. I have left it for the reader to associate themselves the way they feel comfortable with the interpretation. There are so many things and events that could be related to these lines about which we remind ourselves/repent when it is over or gone. I tried to sum it up in "Yesterday". Thank you Gina for your kind words. :)
