Choice

By Beyond Zion

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Any other night I would've let you in, But not tonight. Any other sunrise you could've past in my arms, But not this one. Any other house we could've made a home, But not this one, Not anymore. You say love is forgiving, I say foolishness is. You say we'll work it out, I say don't bother. You say but it was a mistake, I say you are the mistake. So, now, that you and are facing the outside, how do you feel? You think I am heartless. You made a choice, and so did I. I choose solitude over destitute. A poverish spirit is an unclean spirit. It won't destroy me as it destroys you. I will survive you, and when you come back, Crawling in the dark, I will stand you up, dust you off, and forgive you. But you will shed many tears before I will shed one. That's what you earned. Written March 11th, 2002 © on Mar 11 2002 12:40 AM PST   10 • 0 • 1
