107 ~ Headway Poem by stan pelfrey

I’ve been caught in a trap
of live and learn.
Walls crumble down,
while my mind burns,
with memories
that mean so much,
just thinking how I want to
feel your touch.
You’ve told me everything
about your life.
Now that I want affection,
you just fight.

I wanted to be more than friends.
You said you’d be there till the end,
the very end.
Now I see your better way,
I need to make some headway.

Moving forward, going to the start.
Inching up, making all my marks.
Making progress, going on ahead.
Back on my feet, getting out the lead.

Now I’ve seen it all from you
through the years.
So, all I can do is
hold back tears.
I hold the thought of you
close to my heart.
But, now I see the need
to make a new start.

I wanted to be more than friends.
You said you’d be there till the end,
the very end.
Now I see your better way,
I need to make some headway.

Moving forward, going to the start.
Inching up, making all my marks.
Making progress, going on ahead.
Back on my feet, getting out the lead.
