You have only one chance in your life, just make it last.

It's right beside you,
In a smile of a friend
In a twitter of a bird outside
In a quick exchange of glances with a girl
In a odd emotion like love.

It's right beside you,
Every time everywhere
It's up to you now
To make your own decision.

He comes from the darkness with a greedy face,
I ran from him with a quickening pace,
He caught up with me, his eyes filled with pride,
"It's too late now, there's nowhere to hide"

As I sit down I am filled with disgrace,
He lifts my head up and says I have a choice to make,
"Just one decision, that's all I need dear.
Only one choice, there's not need to fear."

This choice might make me.
This choice might break me.

"Hurry up darling you must make a choice."
I hear him say in a sinister voice.

My heart grows weary
as time draws near,
My heart grows weary,
It's too much to bear,

"Now, Now, the time is NOW!"
I hear him scream as the sweat
drips off of his brow,
I told him "OK, I will decide."

Now I will make my decision, the deed will be done,
But the greatest question of all.
Will I make the right one?

Do I go back on my word?
Thoughts felt through conviction
Got me twisted
And spun out
On an intersection
Where a fork
In the road forms

Was my decision
Based on reality?

I could go
Back with
A different mind set
Or see if this place
Will lead me to
Destruction
Or redemption

I call upon
Justice

Indifferent as nature

How do we live when we know one day, we will no more?
How can we care for someone who may not feel the same?
How could a situation so simple stir within us for the entirety of our lives?
How can such a small decision affect our well-being?
Although these problems are complicated, the answer itself  is simple: we are human, It's how we are programmed.

there must be an infinite space beside you,
because in my unboundedness,
i found my place at your side.
right there in the crook of your arm,
i fit perfectly,
as if a spoon
that is firmly held in place
at the corner of a bowl,
as if the very hollow
around you
was meant exactly for me.

i never believed in destiny,
for i am a firm advocate
of choice, of free will.
but somehow,
with me snuggled
close to your heart,
i can somehow believe
i am fated to choose you.

they would ask
where my decisiveness comes from,
where my certainty about you
is rooted on,
and i would look up
and ask the stars the same question.

perhaps it’s in the curls of your mane
that i loved to rustle
with my fingers,
or your hands
that can engulf mine so easily,
or your arms
that can envelope my being,
or your eyes
that know what i need,
or your lips
that whisper endearments so sweet.

i really can’t say,
except that i know.
i know in my heart
that i chose you,
that i value the choices i make,
and i value you
as amongst my most prized decisions.

Dull and lacking in importance
All roads lead to Rome, but where is this taking me?
Options everywhere, but no choices
No answer to solve problems that don’t have solutions
Every answer is right, except a few
Free to do as you please but bound by what you say
It weighs on me, as heavy on my body as it is on my mind
My heart and my soul
Truth cannot be known though we write books
And sing songs of what we know it is
It soothes the pain and eases the fear
That lurks in the depths of the mind
It is there and cannot be hidden
The secret of which no one speaks
We do not know.
