Going Back

Rewind, Go back and face the war 
Steps cannot be retraced
I thought If I stepped
Into her shoes
The one who was real 
Before him 
Before she fell
Before he pushed her
The one who had a reflection
A smile, once

I thought I could go back
See the tears before they fell
From her eyes and stop them
See the scar
Before it ran down her soul
And heal it

Steps cannot be retraced

Valerie Masters

  1. To me, this is an outstanding poem illuminating a hideous situation, both internally and externally. It's every bit as haunting as it should be. Very strong message.
