One Step Further Poem by Max D. Hornbogen

Well here I go, just one step further into the future of no return, could you even try to be in my shoes. Or even try to be me. This is only one step further into the edge of no return, can you see right through my eyes and try to see what I see. But sometimes when I walk these streets at night, just feels like there is something missing in-between the lines that I see. Now the thought of you is just racing through my mind as if the wind just had passed me by. Now I’m taking one step further of the edge of no return, do you think you could try to say goodbye. But I know that you are not going to say that now. Of all the times I had spent with you, you couldn’t even try to say goodbye. Now I see the sunshine going through my window, just trying to wake me up inside. But sill I’m taking one step further into the edge of no return. Now I am only seeing what’s in front of me and that is only me. Just only a mirror staring right back at me. So why not take a step further to the edge of no return, but hey don’t you know that you’re my world. Still only knowing that I am taking one step further into the future of no return. So maybe those are my last words that I have to say, but hey you know you’re my world. And that you are the only one that can make the sunshine go through my window. Now all I got to do is to take one step toward you. An you are the one that is deep in my heart.


(Different verse of one step further)

Don’t you know that you are the one that makes the sun shine through my window. Seeing you with a smile, just makes the world just right. Every time I look at a picture of you just only makes a tear in my eye. But when I think of the years we had, just makes me want to cry inside. But still I am sitting in this chair, only studying the palms of my hands.

(The ending verse)

Now I’m just taking one step further into the edge of no return

Well here I am just taking one step further into the future of no return.
