Life is comprised of many layers;
many chapters within it’s book
different stories in every chapter;
unusual twists that life took.
Yesterday walked into my life;
seems that it wanted to stay;
but I needed to focus on tomorrow;
for I know it’s coming my way.
I cannot forever live in the past;
no matter how much I try;
yesterday, once walked out on me;
without even saying goodbye.
I’m unable to give it a second chance;
even though much love is still there;
I’m looking forward to new romance;
and find a today, to care.
Time is the enemy of any happiness;
there’s only today; and none other;
now, is a time for a sweet caress;
yesterday is a jealous sister or brother.
The past is no longer there to blame;
those that I loved, moved on;
nothing there, can ever be the same;
for yesterday is forever gone.
Layers of life are like those on a cake;
the next one is often more enticing;
no matter how many layers you make;
all, want to lick the icing.
