Love, Yesterday

Were it frantic, the pining
Would it be so surprising...
My shell for shade?
Squandered the time and forced to shield
Naked to the rest, the words, the lessons
In desperate armour

All of you a tonic
(Quenched my thirst and doused my flames)
All of you a focus
(Wrenched my nerves and roused my name)
All of you a memory
(Lest the worst should house my shame)
All of you a solace
(Gone before I realised)
From love, yesterday

Merely manic, the timing
Could there be no surmising...
My hell's delayed?
Pondered the signs that coursed the fields
Taken with the best, to shepherd my messes
Slow and sombre

All of you a tonic
(Quenched my thirst and doused my flames)
All of you a focus
(Wrenched my nerves and roused my name)
All of you a memory
(Lest the worst should house my shame)
All of you a solace
(Gone before I realised)
From love, yesterday

Fate, missed or found above us?
What's worth the foggy smiles or errant dreamed history?
Who learned the long while, while current, gleaned from mystery?

All of you a tonic
All of you a focus
All of you a memory
Gone before I realised
