Yesterday's Tears

Yesterday's Tears
By: S. Rachele Chappell

I had that uneasy familiar feeling,
something from deep inside.
Running from all my evils,
always got to hide.
Lost carefree freedom,
lost in my mind.
Lost all hope,
I can not find.
Past truths they hide in fear,
still I'm crying yesterdays tears.

I felt a little piece of hurt,
an unswept dust-ball in my mind.
A little piece of sorrow,
that had been left behind.
Mom was an alcoholic.
Dad was never there.
Innocence was taken,
life was so unfair.
Past truths they hide in fear,
still I'm cry'n yesterdays tears.

I feel so helpless,
to horrid memories in my head.
Lock in imprisonment,
from things I left unsaid.
Cruel and rancid suffering,
pain I can't disguise.
Ask me how I am,
I'm bound to tell you lies.
Past truths they hide in fear,
still I'm crying yesterdays tears.

I'm so confused from all the questions,
the answer's so unclear.
Locked away my bandaged wounds,
hoped the evils would disappear.
Eluding the locks,
pain comes without warning.
It's so perplexing,
to keep them from haunting.
Past truths they hide in fear,
still I'm crying yesterdays tears.
