YESTERDAY HE CRIED

Life went south

Yesterday he brought flowers.
It’s not any romantic day
He isn’t proposing by the bay
But her has nothing to say
Just the flowers to express his feelings

Yesterday he brought her flowers
It’s not her birthday or there anniversary
It’s it’s not any of the ordinary
But yesterday he cried,
He knelt down and shed a tear

Yesterday he was sorry
Sorry that life went South
Sorry that he missed her
Sorry because he couldn’t kiss her anymore
And so he brought flowers

Yesterday he brought her flowers
Flowers that she couldn’t receive
Flowers that she couldn’t see
She shed tears, not of joy
She teared down
Because it’s her funeral

The day before he beat her
She didn’t have supper ready
He was late and horny
He wanted food
His stomach was crumbling
The pants were hard
He wanted to throb someone
But she couldn’t give both
So he beat her again
And she never recovered
He thought it’s like other days
And he will cry forever
Tables turned, life went South
And so yesterday she cried.
