Directory of Lost Causes

Yet more lyrics. Sorry. Wrote these just now:

I Looked Back

Let’s never come to this place again, she said,
Keep walking, don’t look back.

But I looked back.
My heart became weaker,
My view became bleaker,
And I found myself alone on the track.

I remembered again and again what she said,
All too late, slowed my tread.

Life had passed on,
The sad hills behind me
Just there to remind me
The dream was empty for which I had longed.
