You Can Never Go Back

Can you ever turn back? ................ the words that whirl from your lips harsh and wicked they lurk aiming to cut, leaving dust in your throat. Can you ever turn back? ................ the grip of fear baring its teeth, spit flying in between the anger and regret. Can you ever turn back? ............... that one minute hold your breath scream, while plummeting deeper still... should of said it, should of done it... but oh well next time. Can you ever turn back? .............. the wound you have created, a raging river gutting into a cavern of rock, splintering precious bones. Can you ever turn back? ............. just walk away leave your family leave a lover leave your children say to hell... I hope you die! Can you ever turn back? ................your destiny wrong move, different grove should of danced to a different tune... play me a new song! Can you ever turn it forward? .... you know I know what is done is left done but still the memories are wasted... by fantasies of passed thoughts and dreams. But you can never go back! ...... to change it, to do things different, not say a word, out of fear, for in the minute all sins would.. wound, never walk away, leave a true destiny.. You know I know it's possible just get it right the first time!
