No Looking Back Poem by Charlie Murphy

No Looking Back



Lighting up the night
blazing
stars are burning out before their time...

I walk onward
looking ahead
don't look back
words once said
that I still hold
painfully tight
to my heart
and in my mind.

I want to look back
just to reflect.
The rear-view mirror
of my soul
Fogs up with tears
and uncertainty
of the future.

Wipe the slate clean.

Inside the dazzling
signs that I missed
along the way,
through my dreams
through the silkscreen
fantasies that tread
through my thoughts.

Trampling what once was
and leaving tracks
that I curiously follow...
creeping...
into another tomorrow.

Sweaty, shaking hands
Savagely grasping
at nothing
but air
Breathing it in...
Gasping.
So I can
live through
another today.
