Decisions

by shakenangel   Jul 3, 2005


If the world stopped spinning,
Would you save me?
Hold me in your arms and join me with this gentle death.
Or would you slowly turn and leave me?
Wishing that the road you took had never been this hard.

Amidst the pain and suffering,
I wish I knew the answer.
For then I'd pick a path and stay there till the bitter end.
Now a part of me insists,
the latter.
And that things for me will never be the same.

I never used to have this problem,
So difficult.
For you were nothing more to me than a simple background prop.
I didn't have to resist,
These feelings.
Because I knew to you I was just another child that time forgot.

I'm trying to make a decision,
Stay or Go?
It's the only way I'll ever live when you have flown away.
But my mind is thinking,
Good decision?
The path I choose won't make me happy, it's the choice you make that will break my heart.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Don't worry, my heart's already broken. It's the rebuilding of it that worries me the most.

This poem was not so much about "getting it right", it was just about putting across my thoughts. I don't edit any of my actual poems, because then its not personal for me anymore. then its just a poem. I appreciate all the comments that I've received for this, it means the world to me.

    I never change my poems once I post them either! I have had many broken hearts but they eventually mend. Some of the best poems come straight from the bottom of your heart. Good job! ~Brooke~

    I think I have read this before you know...but I don’t remember commenting on it so-Yeah it’s good. Nice setup, like the way some are short and others longer, gives character. x
