At A Crossroads
I’ve walked a path of shattered dreams
since the day I lost love’s gleam.
I mourn this love like never before;
My flitting heart flutters no more.
The heart is cold, and remains that way
since you left with its flame that day.
Although it’s numb, but the heart holds on
to echoes of days that are long gone.
Why does my heart still longs for hope
when losing you was hard to cope?
Why does it think there’s still a chance
when you didn’t care for this romance?
Your heart’s stubborn and your mind is too;
Not a word have I heard from you.
Dilemma puts me in a tough position.
It is now time to make a decision.
Two starkly paths for me to choose;
Hard to decide when the heart’s confused.
Should I reach out and say hello?
Or is it time to finally let go?
My heart has arrived at these crossroads;
I’m ready to see what fate unfolds.
Drag this out to see if it will last?
Or should I move on and bury the past?
