Two roads diverged within her heart,
One bound by vows, the other past—
I hoped she’d choose to stand apart,
From ties that held her firm and fast,
But love she gave would never last.
I spoke of paths we both had crossed,
Of how I chose her over mine—
Yet to her own she turned and lost
The chance to walk with hands entwined,
A love divided, left behind.
A thousand times I let her know,
Yet still she strayed where I was not—
A bond undone, the weight would grow,
Till truth revealed what she forgot—
Her heart was sworn, but love was not.
And so in time, the day will break,
Her path will call, as paths must do—
The choice she made, the road she’d take,
Will lead her far from what she knew,
And I must take my own road too.
