No Backward Glance Poem by Frederick Nellist

Mixed emotions on that hurtful day
I lost your love and you went away
Tomorrow I was to be your bride
the hurt you gave me I can not hide.

I had rejected my past only for you
tears followed, deep sadness too
Time will heal all, so I am told
I shed my tears alone in the cold.

Held in your arms I felt so secure
those moments now very much fewer
Your handsome face once so bright
Is now in darkness I see no light.

In this place where my heart cried
I'll retain on thing, yes my pride
To me you will always be unknown
Never remember seeds we have sown.
