![]() Fork in the RoadA Poem by The Bleeding Quill
I'm being pushed to the fork in the road, being pressured to make a choice.
I close my eyes and procrastinate, needing to hear the melody of your voice. What you want I simply cannot live up to nor can I compare. As much as I want you here with me I know that you want to be there. I nod and move closer towards the road to the left. It's a simpler choice as I do not know what lies on the road ahead. Then I hear a subtle laughter and a very small reminder that you care. I feel my heart begin to ache, I feel a twinge of fear. I trace back my steps, back to the fork in the road. I close my eyes again , silently listening to what I am told. I make my way to the right. Hopefully it's the right way to go. I don't want to have to retrace my steps back to the fork in the road. I begin to hear the screams, the shouts, the bitter arguments. I trace back once more to afraid , to face the clouds of judgment. So here we are once more, back to the fateful fork in the road. The road ahead seems so long, I'm not sure if I can be so bold. So I sit down and cry, looking at these three paths. I don't know how long I can sit and wait, but I know that it can't last. I will have to choose a path who knows where the one ahead will lead. The other two are so familiar, but what it the one ahead is meant for me? I hurt those around me, who wait for me to decide. I curl up at the fork in the road, and listen to life's lullaby. Give me a few more week's I say, Then I may know what to do. It's not an easy decision to make, when I am still in love with you. So I will sit her waiting at my lonely fork in the road. until you push me out of the way, and tell me that its time to go. © 2010 The Bleeding Quill |
