THE DECISION

Thick and stagnant air fills my lungs. I breathe in deep, life draining away.
I scream and nothing is released, hear my pain, and see me struggle, watch me suffocate.
Before the lights go out I find the door - open it - do you  feel that?
A cold piercing wind blows almost through me,  almost lifting me off my feet.
I collapse into its embrace and allow it to carry Me away.
No more sadness, no more solitude - just weightlessness and my breath.
My chest rises and falls, tears wad over my face.
Inside he resides,  my love long lost. Everything I know, I can take comfort in the stability of the discomfort.
My feet unstable teetering on the threshold, I look back and wipe the tears from my eyes.
Surrendering to inertia I step forward beginning MY LIFE.
The decision has been made.
