Not looking back
You walked away
Leaving me with only
A kiss
Why does it have to be this way?
I run
Screaming
Hoping you would look back
But you never did
The winds can blow
Rain can fall
Blood can drip
From my eyez
But you
You will never look back
To see what you've caused
I run
Unable to stop
But still I can't catch up
You're walking too fast
For me to make you look back

Looking Back

He doesn't look back
when he walks away
no losing footing on his track
he knows he can't stay

I have a bad habit
of looking back all the time
losing footing, shoes don't fit
hoping for what should be left behind

I watch him with a teary-eyed gaze
as he walks on without seeing
he won't look back to this phase
where I love him with all my being

I stand and I yell
and my voice starts to crack
I ran, tripped and fell
but he'll never look back.

I'm glad you ran it through again. I missed it the first time. The helplessness of being left is portrayed deeply in this poem. A great write.
