tug-of-war

yesterday tethered to tomorrow 
caught in a tug-of-war 'tween the two 
going back holds nothing but sorrow
my future now a rosier hue 

stuck in mud caused by the storm 
the past corroded from rain 
anticipating your next jump
love factored with all the pain 

the sun shines from behind dark clouds 
a rainbow that arcs across the blue 
he rides on a silver horse 
a hero to bring me through 

dreams of the past may bring it back 
quickly they fade with a new dawn '
till yesterday's face is just a blur 
in the morning when I stretch and yawn
