My Three Lovers
by an unknown author
I cannot remember Yesterday,
He went away.
I asked him what the trouble was,
He would not say;
Just looked at me with a cool kind of conviction,
Wishing things were different,
As he slowly walked away.
Oh! How today bores me!
I can read his mind!
Certainly don't have yesterday's
Charm.
He told me straightforwardly
Oh! He loved me so!
But I told him that it was
Time to go.
Now, Future has a sacred face,
He sneaks and sneaks around.
When I wish to never see his trace,
He lingers for a mile.
He whispers sad tales of mediocrity,
But sometimes makes me dream.
Oh! Where are you Yesterday?
I'm holding out for you.
There's nothing I want more than
You, Yesterday.
All I want is you.
He went away.

On The Concept Of Time
by an unknown author
I don't know if time passes or not,
Or if it all comes together with spontaneity.
And though we think we are living-
Sequential lives,
It could just be our minds.
And I wonder if I met you,
Before or after I was born;
Or if I missed you when I was younger,
The cause for emptiness and pain.
Or if the reasons that I used to cry
Were all dedicated to this moment,
Where you break me.
Because I'm sure it takes a
Lifetime to get over this pain.
I'm sure by 75, I won't be over it.
Or maybe I already died,
Heartbroken and ashamed
And just don't know it.
I wonder if we are eternal
And our time never ends,
When we die, we rise up
And we do it again.
Or if it all comes together with spontaneity.
And though we think we are living-
Sequential lives,
It could just be our minds.

Or maybe I already died,
Heartbroken and ashamed
And just don't know it.

And our time never ends,
When we die, we rise up
And we do it again.

Identity
by an unknown author
I wonder if the trees can hear me
When I scream aloud,
Or if the dandelion screams,
When I pick him out.
There's no telling where life can take us;
One day I'm a blade of grass,
But today I am myself-
Nobody else.
Life chooses for me to be me.
When I scream aloud,
Or if the dandelion screams,
When I pick him out.
There's no telling where life can take us;
One day I'm a blade of grass,
But today I am myself-
Nobody else.
Life chooses for me to be me.
