PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

My eyes they laid in darkness,
only wishing they could see-
My heart it bounced back & fourth,
and my soul just could not be.

My love was divided by two,
my mind was set on one-
Do I sacrifice everything I have?
Do I leave my only son?

A ring in the night chilled my spine,
my choice was then out of control.
Do I leave everything behind,
or trade my heart for my soul?

Do I stay myself put,
and live under his eye?
Do I break from these chains,
do I reach for the sky?

Then in a flash,
my decision was clear.
To escape this private hell,
for I cannot stay here.

To step into darkness,
knowing not what to behold.
Being scared of tomorrow-
while the future unfolds.

To awaken to no one,
but the memory of past.
Does it make you wonder?
Was love meant to really last?

But these two skeletons,
haunt my soul to this day.
Will they remain in my shadow,
or will they just go away?
