YesterdayA Poem by Awana CarithersA tragic childhood memory
I remember u like yesterday
As if your just a floating nightmare Standing there on your top porch Staring as if u really care Then my little young curiosity got the best of me And I started to make eye contact With the worst person that could walk The streets of the united States Assumptions gathers My innocence you toke Always flexing them biceps cause u know that we would look You played a good role, shall i say Was a shoulder to lean on in each and every way No matter what time of day or night Your door seem to always be open and I came running with no problem A friend I wanted, and it was hard to find them Did it ever occur to you that I was, really a child Offered me shelter just to chill for awhile Or is that what drew you to me in the first place Couldn't wait to get a feel, Saliva dripping, like you wanna taste Turned my little a*s out Had no problems with telling me what to do Thought I was your one and only Yet you just was using me until you were through Told me all of sweet nothings in my little ears I did more than adults have In my youngest years I remember like yesterday, Everyday my little young fast naive a*s Was leaving out of middle school counting down the seconds You would notice me because I've seen your type Preyed on the young told us everything that you thought we'll like But as soon as we graduated and got a year older than The year before, on to the next one because you knew it was much more Torn, devastated shall I say All the nights I've cried begging you to stay Oh yes, but what about yesterday Yesterday is gone That was his favorite line to repeat Never once did you have the decently To change them damn sheets Couldn't look me in my face and tell me that you moved on When Deep down inside I knew this chemistry between us was beyond wrong I remember just like yesterday Oh yes no yes yesterday © 2017 Awana Carithers |
