yesterday/today

yesterday i cried
i cried for myself
and the world outside
i cried for the woman next door
and her children she left behind
i cried for you, for me, for us

then i stopped, i was empty
i slept, dreamless dreams

but then i woke and i was happy
happy that i am here
and the world around me continues
i am happy that i knew the woman next door
but most of all i am happy
happy for you, for me, for us
