I'm standing at the crossroads.

A perfection of ultimatum,
A decision to be made.
I feel regret and remorse,
To choose is to leave one behind.

Flip a coin, heads or tails,
In the air I'll decide.
Don't go with the first,
For the second wouldn't exist.

Debating with possibilities,
Conflicting attractions.
Pulling me towards one.
Pushing towards the other.

Epiphany.
What if I never choose?
To stay here in the plus.
The road less traveled.

The coin lands on its rim,
An everlasting spin.

The night is closure for me.
Filled by the sound of piano notes,
Guitar strings warming the darkness.
Losing myself in the sound.

The light music plays softly,
But seems so loud in the closing night.
A background melody calms me down,
Composing the perfect tune.

I forget my surroundings,
Complete senselessness overcomes me.
A classic lullaby helps me drift,
I forget my existence.

Life whispered in my ear.
It isn’t working out.
I drifted from my own life.
And now it takes itself away.
Lost. Displaced. Forgotten.
Life as I knew it ended.
A short click and we separated.
This wasn’t supposed to happen.
Forever, life had promised.
Alone. Solitary. Detached.
My purpose gone.
Shattered; pieces uneven.
Only life could comfort me.
But life left me.
Empty. Hollow. Wasted.
Never could it be the same.
It was life or nothing.
My future dismantled.
A disconnected space.
Hurt. Damaged. Broken.
Life will never return.
It told me so.
I wasn’t wanted, loved.
But I had life’s memories.
Torture. Pain. Agony.
Time won’t heal.
For my everything vanished.
Truth turns to lies.
I release to my end.
Misery. Ache. Worry.
I gave life everything.
Life gave back everything.
But life had run its course.
Life whispered in my ear.
