Backward Glance

I reached across
a mystery
of how your eyes
were fixed on me

My heart imploded
like a star
leaving a hole
right where you are

Your orphan soul
caught my wayward dreams
I'm still not sure
what it all means

But you opened up
you worlds to me
to let us find
where our path leads

At the moment
we were torn apart
you broke the heaven
in my heart

But I've returned
to stake this claim
so you will wrestle
with my name

And never forget
the ruthless shame
of our struggle
in such a judgmental place

and how you turned
on that dime
counting our encounters
a waste of time

I will ever
hold this stance
just for one more
backward glance
