I fight everything
To not turn back
To not run away
But my eyes still
Land on her face
My feet become rooted
In the ground
My heart twists
In my chest
Reminding me of
Her
I know I can never
Return here
But that sweet
Little girl needs
Me
All the strength
Left in me
Cranes back my
Neck to
The road ahead
I can't stop
My feet weigh
Me down
But I pick them
Up and place
Them forward
One step
At a time
Still I'll never
Forget the little girl
I used to be
