Look Back
The first step
Forward
The last step
Back
And every leap
Of faith taken
Blindly; without question
Will you find the
Land ahead
Or fall unto
Abyss?
The first new
Friend
The last old
Nemesis dead:
They wear the same face
They share the same space
They are forever not together,
Intertwined in your thoughts, your heart
Your mind
The first lie
Forgotten
The last defense
Fallen
And all your secrets stripped
Bare to shiver in the
Cold wind of
Distrust
The first promise
Made
The last farewell
Bade
To a man you thought to
Hold, to love and
Know-
Not any longer
The first oath
Broken
Your last hope
Stolen
And no chance
To see the world
As pure again
Like glass shattered
On the floor
Like so much cold
Let in the door
Like the breath of love
Departed
And broken hearts that once united
Lying forlorn in the sand
Like all the waves that
Crash down on us
As we wait for dawn
To find us
Running reckless in the
Icy salt-laced spray
The first move
Forward
The last glance
Back
At a past
Left scattered in the ruins;
There can be
No turning back
