Stay or Move

A poem that highlights the struggle and questioning which evolves after the loss of a relationship.

What can I do

when I'm stuck between a world that keeps revolving-

and you?

 

The choice to move forward, or stay in place.

Knowing not from which line to trace-

my heart may not be strong enough for this race.

 

 

What can I do?

The right answer was always you.

 

Now my resolution is blurry, the clock says please hurry.

I'm stuck between a world that keeps revolving, and you.

 

A million miles could draw a strong line, but to me-

you should always be mine.

 

It's not always easy on the other side.

For this-

the martyr of love, Juliet died.

Please tell me;

oh tell me, What should I do?

Stay or move on-

without you.

My first thought is that this would make a perfect verse for a reality valentine card (after just picking a card out from a sea of synonymous sounding sentiments).
I really enjoyed the rhyme and rhythm of your work.

Wow. This is a heavy lament that rings like a song. It captures the indecision that comes upon people in situations like this. Beautifully written. Thank you for sharing. Another pleasure among many pleasures!

What a conflicted piece. It's difficult to decide what to do when a relationship is ending. The ending here was very strong and the rhyming was brilliant. Very well-penned. Thank you.
