Notes About The Poem

Can't Go Back by Max Burchett

by Max Burchett

No, no, no,
Can’t go back.
No do over, no,
Oh, I want to go back.

A past moment in time
Exists only in my mind.
It hurts to know
I can never go back, no.

If I could try again,
Oh, what could have been,
Now gone with the wind,
But I’m still here.

Now going on from here
On the road to who knows where.
Roll on, the past is gone,
Can’t keep looking back.

Got to keep going on,
Remembering back then,
But left it all behind.
Forgetting then, got to carry on.

Can’t turn back
The hands of time
What was, was meant to be.
Can’t go back.

Ilene Bauer November 9, 2023 at 1:31 PM better to let things go, if you can. you can go back only in your mind and sometimes that's not the best course of action. good poem, though...
