yesterday, I felt my life
was fading away;
a piece of my soul
running away

yesterday, I
naturally, tried to catch it:
the glimpse of life
the sparkle that used to be in my eyes
joy that ran through my veins

yesterday, I
failed to catch life
yesterday, my
life ran away
as I stood and watched it.
in the end, I let it go away
because I saw how happy
it was
without me

yesterday, I
watched it play
and go away
to the faraway place, outer space
I was weak, yet strong
and for the last time
it turned around
and I saw Death
and Death saw me

yesterday, I
heard their laugh echoed
through my mind

yesterday,
until the rest of my days.
