The choices we make,
I'd love to tell you that we have it all figured out,
but words are just words and
the choices we make,
the promises we break;
the times we fall down,
though we try our hardest

A promise to a long lost love
a turn to the darker side of life
or follow the light through the dark
a phrase muttered in ignorance
a truthful lie to spread like weeds
A secret leaked through silent lips
betrayal or purely accidental
how are we to judge or truly know.

The human mind is complicated
We are all shadows shuffling
through life to find the light
where we will glow and glitter
as the pieces of our souls
are now made clear.

Today or possibly tomorrow,
night or is it day?
does it matter, will you stay?
Or will you simply wonder
as I enter that colder slumber
or freefall through the clouds
as soft and melancholy
as my final silent sleep
