Having gone past the words of no return,
I asked myself what I had learned.
Was it revenge because I was spurned?
Or that I was heard when it was my turn?
Either way I lost my chance
To be with her at my High School dance
To fight my way back to romance
Nope I won’t go there, I’ve taken a stance

I think there are probably many of us who think back to romances that did not bloom. Love your writing Michael.

there’s no return
over bridges we burn
we can’t ever replace
what we lost in the race
we must look ahead
not on past words said
revenge will never be
what sets us free 🙂
