Yesterday when the world thought you were beautiful? When the world looked into your eyes and found himself lost; smiled a smile of confusion but remained because nothing could amount to the moment of right then.
Do you remember yesterday?
Yesterday, when the moon approached you while you slept and asked you to wake. When the moon wanted to know you; perused your character, your attitude, your you and claimed to have fallen into your pool – your love.
Do you remember yesterday?
Of course you do. Yesterday you were beautiful. Yesterday you were the sun’s aphrodisiac. Yesterday. Yesterday. Yesterday, every aspect of the universe turned and watched you as you walked by. Yesterday stars decorated your ears, your fingers, your wrists. Your hair swung wonderfully and shined in the light of your moon, your sun, your world. Yes. Yesterday you were crowned.
Yesterday. Yesterday.
Today.
Last night, thoughts of the moon – not yet yours – kept you from sleep. So today, today your eyes are decorated with the nights darkness, your lips peels from constant talk of wishes…false promises. Those stars flee from your arms and wish to adorn that of another. So. So you dress yourself in rags hoping that yesterday’s universe will embrace you in all your natural essence today.
But today.
Today, Today, Neptune’s orbit is still outside of Pluto’s, Saturn shares his rings only with himself, and Mars promises life to no one. Today, the world works as it usually should, not as it wonderfully had. Today your eyes draw who in? Your beauty entrances what amazement? Your character intrigues…no one.
Yes,
Today you’re just you
and nobody’s interested.
