Tell me,
Yesterday,
Why do you tease me so?
Why rap at heart's gate,
With images of rapture,
Weakening a steeled resolve?

Tell me,
Yesterday,
Did I not pay your price,
When you trampled my trust,
My heart,
My love?

Tell me,
Yesterday,
Did I not shed tears,
To quench your thirst,
To fill your basin,
To bathe your body?

Tell me,
Yesterday,
Why do you torture me so?
Exposing long-forgotten wounds,
Awakening sleepless nights,
Resurrecting a restless soul?

Feed me your bittersweet words,
For, at this moment,
I don't want tomorrow to come,
I only look forward
To yesterday.
