Sorry lover but you can't look back
to the sheets thrown to the floor
forgotten while bodies press
ghosts lost to passion's bliss
promises once had a place
fealty against death's cold hand
the declarations none will admit
when light of day too soon arrives
strong emotions aren't cast aside
instead replaced with grounded angst
along with rage of what should be
tears spilled on pillows drenched
promises lost along with pride
if only this came to pass
along with advice none request
sorry lover please don't look back.

I would like to translate this poem
I liked this poem, though on the second line where it's written - " to the sheets thrown to the floor" - there may be a typo because I think it should be written as - " to the sheets thrown on the floor" . Otherwise well done.
