Looking Back

Just what it says

Looking back now after so many years have passed
I wonder if I could of done any better
Tried any harder
Perhaps I didn't try at all (at least thats what she said to me)

Could I have taken more time
time over all that I tried to do
more rose's
sweet words too

All in all I think I tried, did all that I could do
I gave my heart though maybe not my soul
Not my soul for you to abuse

But my love for you to use

Looking back I know
know exactly what you really thought of me
you said you were a bird that needed to be set free
LIER

Looking back
It was I that played the fool
Looking back it was I that laughed at all your silly jokes
But looking back I remained the crying clown

Looking Back, just looking

Never really seeing

Never again will this clown look back
and think thats what I wished it would be

Never
No never
Going back

So you must see why even though you beg
I cannot return
To that place we used to be.

I have not read over this, not had the time, always so rushed, with nothing to do

we could question our whole lives if we had the foresight..hindsight is a pain in the arse!!!

Real emotional tug to this one..nice job

[Coyote Poetry]

The ending flow struggle. The poem did tell a logical story. Best not to look back. Most things happen for a reason and very hard to change what was done and why. A excellent poem. Thank you.

Hindsight is 20/20 they say. I look back and wonder.. your poem is one of strong emotions. Seems you have had a chance to think and though it was you in the beginning so you thought, you see clearer now and this person wants more but you are saying it is too late.
Nice format you used. The poem is well written also and very emotional ..
