The Rear View Mirror

I’m driving through a
One way road
With no U-turns signs to allow me
To go back
But I keep looking at the
Rear view mirror
I’m driving forward
With my eyes looking back
And I can’t help but wonder
If someday soon
I’ll glance at it again
I’ll glance back behind me and
I’ll see what I left behind
I keep wondering if one day
I’ll look at nothing but the
Rear view mirror
And I’ll crash
The people
The places
The memories I left behind
Might one day kill me
