Think I'll let my mind slip away
and live in yesterday.
I'll leave this old world far behind.
Forget all I ever knew, this is
what I want to do. For in yesterday
I know I would be fine.

I am slipping, slowly slipping.
I can't stop and I don't know what to do.
I can't hold on anymore, I'm not the same as before,
I am slipping, daily slipping, far from you.

I have no reason to hold on, I can't seem to go on.
Clinging to a dream that was never real.
Destiny played it's role, It left me in the cold,
so back into a yeasteday I will steal.

I am slipping, slowly slipping.
Back to a time when I thought you might have cared.
That was so long ago now that's where I want to go.
Back to a time when I believed my dreams you shared.

* That which gives light, must endure burning *

I'm taking a punt here that whoever you wrote this to has read it. I do hope so. What a wonderful admission. It's impossible to tell if your dreams were the same as his but I relate to the option that perhaps they weren't. I hope it works/worked out. Thanks for sharing.

I guess one becomes content with one’s poetry when one opens the book ten years hence and does NOT exclaim, “Did I really write this?”

I have often taken those trips into yesterdays. They're nice. Until they bring you back to todays. Nice one Kitty!!!

My heart is breaking as I read your words of sorrow. You just opened up and let your emotions flow out onto paper. It takes a brave soul to bare one's self to all. Have you shown this to him? Your words could even melt an iceberg!
