Tammy Ol Poet Rhyme

Next Steps

While he tries hard to forget
And let his bruised heart move on and heal
All she can do is remember 
And longs again for hers to feel

As the scattered bits of his old life
Keep slowly shedding away
She's counting up her happy times
And how they've long begun to fade

While he's learning how to cope 
And do all he can to rid the pain
She's holding on to memories
Of her wanting him again

But the longer the memories linger
The more they replay inside her head
And instead of staying where they're safe
They're typed on her phone screen instead

So now while he's trying to figure out 
What next steps are along his path
She's trying to be patient
And let their lives unfold as they hath

But if neverending thoughts exist
Even ones held tightly in their hearts 
What's to be lost in sharing them
If it helps him find a place to start
