Evelyn Hayes Poet Prose Poetry

Don'T Look Back

You have enough
nerve showing up
here today
Cause the only thing
you want from me is
my love
But all your going
to get is hatred

After all these
years that have gone
by
And after all you
put me through
There's no chance
I'd take you back in
my life

Cause I believe I've
been through enough
Your lying and
cheating was about
to kill me
But you've done a
whole lot worse than
that
And I got the scars
to prove it

All I can say to you
now is
Leave the past
behind
And head on down the
road
And don't ever look
back.

Robert Keim July 28, 2014 at 11:08 AM There's certainly some power in this poem. Nice use of line breaks and form. It's as though the person you are speaking to changes for the last stanza - or the speaker changes? was this intentional? A few grammar suggestions - saying "cause" for "because" is fine for dialect - but write it as " 'cause". The first "your" should be "You're"... Keep writing! I'd like to see more.
