Yesterday we were pretty and handsome
Today we are bruised and battered
Yesterday our hearts were captured in a mansion
Today all the dreams lay shattered.
Yesterday we couldn’t imagine days without each other
Today we cannot stand one another
Yesterday saw a love so strong that doth smother
Today we are cliffs on rent in asunder.
Yesterday our days were filled with seraphic joy
Today sits upon days of misery
Yesterday nothing could ever destroy
Today we are a clear history.
Yesterday we wanted to talk till no end
Today each other’s voice is poison
Yesterday our words had humour to depend
Today the nostalgia has no reason.
Yesterday we wanted to have a lot of fun
Today we are filled with anguish
Yesterday was a good deal done
Today we need no cherishing to languish.
Yesterday we were the tough sweethearts
Today we are defined as enemies
Yesterday we couldn’t be divided into parts
Today we are separate centuries.
Yesterday we walked extra miles jointly
Today we walk back to avoid each other
Yesterday we were noted as one pointy
Today sees us as opposite runner.
Yesterday we couldn’t bear if one got hurt
Today we hurt and don’t care at all
Yesterday we readily dusted the dirt
Today we intentionally engage into a filthy brawl.
Yesterday we were the best of both worlds
Today we are the worst of all realms
Yesterday endless space was unfurled
Today the distance overwhelms.
Yesterday we were in immense love
Today we are in monumental hatred
Yesterday the clouds were up and above
Today we can’t find anything sacred.
-Adelene Coelho
