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, searing your Skin like acid rain. Can you ever turn back? ………..just one minute Hold your breath and Scream, 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, raging river guts another fish to The spin, jagged rocks Splintered bones. Can you ever turn back? ….. just walk away Leave your family Leave your 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.. Drums slamming way off beat. 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 pasted 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 that minute all sins would….wound, Never walk away, and leave a True destiny….. You know I know it’s possible........ just get it right the first time!
