The Choice
Rain as I entered,
Matching my mood:
Somber.
Never knowing
That there
My life would change.
His eyes mesmerized me
As I started intently.
He caused my heart to
race
or
stop.
This feeling,
What could it mean?
True love.
But love had a price,
(doesn't it always?)
Love could cost me my
Life.
Yet I didn't care.
He was
mine.
Change happened,
Always as inevitable as could be.
He left.
It was no longer safe.
I died inside.
This price was worse than death.
I built myself back up
With another's friendship.
He mended my heart.
Until my love came back
For me.
Happy was I
again.
I tried to rush
Into things not meant to be rushed into.
Until I began to realize
The consequences.
A choice
Tore me in two.
Love for my first love
or
Love for my heart mender.
Life came with one,
Death with another.
As my lips touched both,
My choice was made.
My wedding ring
Weighing me down with
Despair for my friend,
But hope for the future.
For the future I was headed,
But what would meet me there?
Both sides of our
bargain
were fulfilled.
My diamond ring reflecting
Our promises.
Finally happiness came,
And we thought
We had nothing to fear.
A great and terrible surprise
Came upon us.
This surprise risked my life
Even more than my
First love's bloodlust.
But I endured it, and it became mine.
And my final end of the bargain
Was complete.
Our looming fears soon became
Nothing.
Happiness was ours.
Love was ours.
There in our
Perfect little piece
of
Forever.
