Yesterday

Another day goes by, as I yearn to reverse the clocks
Not to undo a few things, or maybe even set some right.
I crave this time travel, by some weeks or maybe months
Savour moments like they are my last, clench each one tight.

I want to consume them all, not leave any bit behind
The last morsels of succulent food, one more sip of rousing wine.
Was contemptuously careless, putting the prize to waste
They are not there now, episodes I would want to claim mine.

Shivering, I wakeup everyday, broke with only hope in heart
Going through the motions, praying for a miracle tomorrow.
And I sink in deeper by the day- guilty, repentant, pleading
Words etched in heart and head, "Please make Today go."
