A Fork In The Road.

by CourtneyyContageous   Jun 27, 2008


I just don't belong here
There's really nothing left to say
I live my pretend life
With a fake smile on my face

I turn away for only seconds
To catch a glimpse of light
Only to find it's snatched away
And again, I'm left in the dead of night

I come to a fork in the road
The only chance I see
To get out while I still can
To just let life be

But again to only find the reason why I stayed
Was just because, I was in love
But that too,
Was taken away

So now I'm waiting
At the fork, for my light to come back
But I don't think it's coming
He's tired of running
Through all of my suicide attacks

Let me wait for the time
When I can be happy alone
So until then, I'll sit in this road
Thinking of a path to go on.

    This was amazing, i really liked how you picked a fork in the road of what way to go, thats how life is, theres so many ways to go to and from, and theres sometimes where you just really don't know what way to go because you don't want to take a chance of having it a mistake or not. I know how this is, I've been down a road that wasn't fun but then finally i took another route and found my way to a better place, hopefully you can do that to. Even if like you said in your poem that the one you love is gone away, remember you have all of us on this site to help you out on whatever you need. I really like your poems i have read which were only this one and the answering machine but your an amazing writer.

    keep it up.
    keep on writing.
    love always and forever.

    Excellent poem. Unique title. :] I liked that a lot. Ummm, the flow was excellent all together. The poem had no flaws as far as what I could see. It flowed along so amazingly without me having to stop once. Honestly, this poem is excellent and I literally have nothing else to say. Keep writing. :] Oh, one thing though. Just popped in my head.. maybe expand your vocabulary? You write amazinglyy no matter what though!... 5/5
