Don’t look back

-

Don’t look back

-

I keep my resolve steady

like Orpheus leaving his beloved in the underworld

my grief for you consumes me

I hear your voice

I know you’re there

just behind me…

-

but I don’t look back

I can’t look back

-

the temptation of you

breaks me

with every step

and I know,

I’m doomed,

to a fate of mourning you

my love;

but still I walk

forward

step by step

head held high.

-

Don’t look back

-

for I know I can’t

stay down there with you.

so forward I march

with the pieces of my shattered heart

I’ll see you in my dreams

my love,

forever just over my shoulder,

calling to me

but

-

I won’t look back.
