Don't Look Behind

Don't look behind....
There are memories of lost love,
There are hearts that lie broken,
Things that are left undone,
Words that are unspoken.

Don't look behind....
There are tears waiting to fall,
There’s pain so unbearable to take,
There are memories waiting to hurt you,
That will cause your heart to break.

Don't look behind....
You’re never going to return,
Whatever you're looking for... is gone,
You’re going to feel so sad and torn,
You know you will feel all alone.

Don't look behind....
There are friends going away,
Eyes so innocent filled with tears,
Because of memories that you won't forget,
Built up inside you throughout the years.

Don't look behind....
The hand you want to hold is slipping away,
You’re feet are growing to weak to hold you,
You’re going to try to be on your own,
There’s nothing much more you can do.

Don't look behind....................................

I really liked this.
I cant beleive no one has relied to this yet. I loved the ending. The last couple stanzas were the best i think.

Wow, this hit home so hard. Very powerful piece. The emotion was strong and I like the way it was written.
I especially liked the 3rd stanza, and this line...Don't look behind....
The hand you want to hold is slipping away.
Thanks for sharing, this is going in my library.

Thank you everyone for the great comments. This is one of my favorite pieces that i have written. My other being The Apology. I just thought its a situation we all go through might as well express it.

Jesus died that you might live...accept that and u shall be saved.

wow...that's amazing, I loved this one.  It's amazing, you put exactly into words what i needed to hear.  Very good job. I hope you don't mind if I keep this one.

Love is giving him the ability to break your heart...but trusting him enough to know he won't.
