Chasing yesterday

I look in the mirror and what do I see
An aged version of what i used to be
Withered and weathered
Tethered and torn
Wishing for that something to make me reborn

I look into my eyes and what do I know
Where did that fire inside me go
Embers to ashes
Ashes to dust
When did life loose it's lust

Look into that mirror and bitter I am
How did I end up kicking the can
Would have could haves
Should haves and more
How did my dreams drift away on a shore

I look to the mirror and I look away
It's no good chasing yesterday
Been and gone
Over and done
Some I lost and some I won
