The day before today
Memories and regret
It is a film in my mind that constantly plays
I know I shall never forget
I see behind me the mountains that once barred my path
If I try to go backwards to climb them again
I endure my memory’s terrible wrath
Ghosts linger here
Awaiting the turn of my back
They bring to my eyes already-cried tears
And convince already-popped lightning to crack
The day after yesterday
Soon to be the past
Has not quite as much to say
As it does not nearly last
One day before the day after tomorrow
A star in the night black sky
Unsure of holding joy or sorrow
Tomorrow does not lie
