Yesterday, thoughts of you flowed through my veins <br />I assessed the losses and the gains <br />Differences we had a few <br />Because of these differences I knew <br />I could love you through and through <br />The day would end with visions of you <br />Yesterday the sun licked the sky with its yellow tongue <br />I recalled the hot passion of when we were young <br />We would sit by a winter fire <br />And love with an insatiable desire <br />Every breath was like walking a high wire <br />It was more than ordinary people require <br />But yesterday is dead and gone <br />Lost to the darkness of the midnight sun <br />Memories put to rest on a lonely bed <br />Tucked away like nightmares instead <br />Yesterday we saw things in a different light <br />We pulled on our heart strings with all our might <br />Now they’re tangled like puppet strings <br />Misdirected like angels without wings <br />So where do we go from here <br />Stuck in this web of fear <br />Where there are more losses than gains <br />And the burdens are held down by chains <br />It’s a game I’m sure no one will win <br />When our hearts no are on display outside our skin <br />So today there will be no winner <br />No matter who is declared the sinnner<br /><br />Alfred Ramos<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-losses-outnumber-the-gains/
