yesterday away
when love is gone
and your spirit wishes
it could go out like the light,

when pain claws you out
raw, shamed and empty
that tears are not enough,

pray you heal,
watch the waves of the sea,
you can crouch in the dark,
close your eyes,
lend yourself to sleep ---
and when you wake up
you'd still be you
but one day away
from yesterday.

when every step
seems hard and heavy,
life not worth waking up to,

if friends and family
can't listen, or worse
exhausting to explain yourself to,

say you'll heal,
touch the waves with your feet,
watch the moon change shape,
close your eyes,
allow yourself some sleep---
so when you wake up
you'd still be you
yet another day away
from yesterday

soon, summer will be here
flowers bloom,
the leaves catch the color of fire,
snow melts as it touches skin,

and you feel you,
here,
safe and away,
from yesterday.
