Looking Back

When loneliness falls on you,
Your minds an empty drought,
You think of what you used to have,
And consume your mind with doubt,
When summer days no longer fill,
Your head with happy thoughts,
You think of what used to be,
And memories of all sorts,
When a smile no longer comes,
To put your mind at ease,
You think of the times you had,
And how much you used to tease,
And when your loneliness has gone,
When your emotions have been toyed,
You realise then and only then,
What looking back has destroyed.
