Yesterday by Jinesh Patel

Turns out I was right
You can lie again
You can act decimated
I'm not ready to believe

The boy who cries wolf
The story of our time together
Eventually no one comes
Eventually no one believes
Eventually you are left alone

Return back
Revert through the mirror
Feel the same
Understand the world before I choke

There is no coming back
No green on the other side
We move forward, not back
We are who we are today
We are what we do today
Not before, there is no yesterday

Cry again tomorrow
Cry again next week
Who will come?
I didn't want to be right
I don't want to be your wolf
But, Yesterday exists no more  

Bio: Jinesh Patel is currently a second year law student (whose real love is poetry and the arts).   The only goal Jinesh hopes to achieve in publishing poetry is for it to "affect someone else's life the way it has mine.  If even one other person learns, relates or simply enjoys my poetry I will consider it a success."
