"Wake up, restless daughter."
The one you've risen into your own life
The wrong life.

You call them "stone-cold memories"
And that's all they are.
Remembering the midnight fire,
that lit my heart up in smoke
So you could blow away the ashes.

So easily you forgot the rain,
A sleeping ambition, deep inside
"Someday" remains an era of unsweetened dreams
and "yesterday" the owner and breeder of a restless sleep.

[this uses some lines i've use before so they may sound familiar...}

I like this poem a lot.  I like the part about the stone-cold memory part.

When you twist around to see the past you're missing your chance to glimpse the future.
