A Look Back

A Poem about regret

A Look Back

I look back
and I wonder what I ever saw in you.
Time wasted
and common sense gone askew.
Kissing you
with my eyes closed tight.
Ears covered,
heart gave up without a fight.

Cried so long,
and in so much pain.
Fighting for you
but all in vain.
Love unreturned.
Tears not wiped away.
Understanding not given,
relationship gone astray.

Why for so long?
This was just a dead end.
Afraid to let go..
Would my heart ever mend?
Same vicious circle,
years went by.
Finally walked away
because you said good bye.

Now more time has passed
and my head is clear now.
You want to come back
realizing what you lost somehow.
But I will not relent.
That pain I do not want to renew..
I am much stronger now.
I don't know what I ever saw in you.
