When One Must Choose Shadows
She stands atop her silver shrine
That she fought like hell to make
And basks in light that can define
The forms she's bound to take
And she draws me close with driest wit
To take from me my ache
But we're set apart by prior strand
That forces us to stray
She keeps me bound to the ground below
And decimates my calm
But she makes me laugh, riles me up
She's leading me along
Her lilting glow draws me close
And begs for me to stay
But it's just a sign of the worlds apart
It's driving me away
I cannot give to permanence
Submitting to my hurt
Jealous spite will cloud my mind
Unless I move from her
For years 'til now we've fallen fast
Our chance has faded by
Once apart, we'll accept it then
And learn to laugh so wise
Her softest side has moved on swift
Mine can't say the same
But I'll be gone in two weeks time
And I am set on change
Finales set and cast in stone
I intend for love to die
By what means I've no idea
But I know it's time to try.
