I Murdered Yesterday
By PJ Perry
I murdered yesterday
So that I could now move on
You told me not to feel that way
But you couldn't have been more wrong
Before I could not see that far
I was blinded by the fog
Like a room full of smoke from a bad cigar
I would need the best guide dog
But the mist from my eyes has steamed away
I realised what to do
I knew by murdering yesterday
That I would be free from you
So I will always look forward
And drink to you a little toast
That I'll never ever feel awkward
If I turn and see your ghost
