Yesterday…Tomorrow

 Trapped in my arrogance

I burn like dried leaves

Consumed by memories

Of words all too shallow

 

I won’t show you my pain

Nor will I ever curse you

But like the ashes left behind

I will mark my sorrow

 

Wish I’d learnt from yesterday

The path that leads to tomorrow

‘Coz reality always let me down

Such bitter pills to swallow

 

Now I see the pattern

You scratched on the walls before

It was me yesterday

Someone else tomorrow

 

Yet who do I blame but me

For taking what was not mine

Time and again like a beggar

The cup of sugar I borrow
