Don't Look Back Poem by Leria Hawkins

I'm glad it's over
Though I feel the ache
Of memories fresh, my heart still breaks

But loving true,
When all in vain
Alas the storm, has brought the rain

It weeps down salty
Upon my cheek
My resolve is strong, though my heart is weak

But, I'll accept today
With no fear or fight
The few rough days and rougher nights

For the future sings
Tomorrow's song
If my heart will chance to sing along

And I carry no ax
To cause you pain
No bitter rumor or grievous stain

As I wish you peace
And happiness too
And a love that keeps you tried and true

But, I'm glad it's over
Make no mistake
Please don't look back, for both our sakes
