I've come
to a crossroad
I can let the past control me
Or I can plunge
forth into that which is unfamiliar
Shake free from the shackles
of life gone by
Behind me lies a road well worn by my weary
feet
Riddled with conflict and trauma
But also a peace and
serenity lies there
That which I found in one I loved and
lost
That one which I fought for
But now is beyond fighting
Lost to me forever
To the depths of her own mind
Now a
road lies before me
A road that cannot promise perfection
But
there is a chance that true happiness is on the horizon
The chance
that I have found someone
I can take that road, take the
chance
Or I can take refuge
Refuge in the memories of long-dead
happiness
And surrender to a life of silent remembrance
I
shall forever cherish that love I lost
But this new love promises
to change me
Breathe into me new life
Complete me
