Yesterday

I'm coming home to yesterday

I've been away too long...

Forgive me please I beg of you

I'm not where I belong...

 

Somehow I drifted from my dreams

was swept far out to sea...

Lost focus on important things

and what they meant to me...

 

I used to laugh and sing my songs

somewhere the music stopped...

I compromised too many times

it's not how I was taught...

 

Please welcome me with open arms

my old familiar friend...

Repair the damage to my soul

so I can live again

Someone Else

Seeing you with someone else

a dagger to my soul…

The look you gave me crushed my heart

and left me unconsoled

Surreal the image in my mind

a loss of words to say…

An avalanche of biting pain

that still won’t go away

So much invested and then lost

a hollow emptiness…

I thought one day I’d see you in

a satin wedding dress
