Never Look Back (Photo-Poetry)

I wanted to tell them so much.
So much and many more.
I wanted to hold them
Tight in my arms and kiss them like I was never going to see them again.
Because I wasn't.

My heart had already withered.
Torn apart and unable to hold all this weight
Of the world.

I was tired.
I needed to go
And never look back again.
You should never look back!
You never know what you're gonna see
And what pictures will wake up to haunt you.

Never look back!
I told myself,
But he wouldn't listen.
When does he ever listen anyway?

Don't look back.
Don't remember.
Don't feel.
Don't fall.
Don't fear.

Just leave.
