Backwards Steps

How true it is.

You had your fun

And now you wanna

Come back crawling to me

You had your choice

But you chose

To screw me over

I'm not taking

Backwards steps,

I'm not coming

Back to you

You've had too

Many chances,

You've fucked up

My heart already

Why would I take

Backwards steps

And come back to you?

very true
as woman we really have to think more of ourselves and make our minds stronger then our hearts
I vote the only backwards steps we take are on the game candy land*)*)when we have to go backwards to get forward---or maybe that is how life is we have to learn those backwards steps so we can walk more gracefully forward
enjoyed this piece and the thoughts it has brought to me
thank you for sharing much*)

Thank you very much for the review; and yes the only backwards steps should be in candy land.

Old wise saying. "One time a mistake. Two times a fool. Three times a dummy." Rarely second chances work. I tried four times. Zero for four worked out. Hard to gain trust again. A direct and honest poem. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

Very good write!! I agree with Holly completely. We do have to make our minds stronger than our hearts. Great job:)

Not bad. Your topic is obviously generic, but I think you've managed to keep things interesting and keep the stakes high with how simple the tone and the word choice in this is - comes across as very earnest, which is a nice touch. I think you could have not lapsed into profanity near the end. Not that there's anything wrong with profanity, but I think it would have come across better if the speaker had been calm all the way through. Just my opinion. Good work.

Thank you very much for taking the time to review. I really appreciate it and I'm glad you like it. I understand what you mean and the profanity seemed good at the time when I wrote it, but now rereading it it doesn't seem to fit.
