Love or Life

By Isz

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Looking at my reflection in the mirror I lose myself in my empty eyes Questions running over in my mind Do they understand? Do they see it from my side of the looking glass? Do they know the decision I am making? The time counts down My choice has to be made soon To stay and continue trying to move on Or to leave and hope that it will work out in the end One choice leaves me unhappy for untold time Other I leave everything and everyone For what A chance A shot in the dark at rekindling the past One in a million I figure Probably worse odds in reality What can I do? What should I do? Who can I turn to with out hurting others? Who will understand what I am trying to do? Can they forget my words in the past? And see my problem through my eyes Or do I walk alone still Make my choice stay with it One hand I forget my first love On the other I forget those that are close I will not do either I can't do either Not again My secrets run deep Like roots of a tree older then time I must leave and take a chance I must stay and continue this phasod Like a hamster on a wheel I am running and getting nowhere The choice is mine It will be made Come soon This wanderer may just have to keep wanderering By: Isz Written January 10th, 2002 © on Jan 10 2002 03:14 AM PST   0 • 12
