Choices

 
What I thought about  
was madness  
as it grew  
inside my heart  
I knew I had no option  
but to plan for my depart.  
 
The shadows of our future  
have now become a blur  
the choice you made forever  
Has hit me like a slur.  
 
This left my life in sorrow  
when I realized how it felt  
to live a life of loneliness  
for that's the cards I'm dealt.  
 
As I think about my future  
I cannot see you there  
for the choice you made  
was final  
I'm lost without compare.  
 
I am far beyond a future  
that kept you in my life  
Giving up the option  
to soon become your wife.  
 
What I'll miss the most  
is having my best friend.  
But we all know the truth  
one will find that place again..  
 
I've been lost inside a capsule  
from a past,  
I can't ignore  
finally,  
I will get a chance to see  
how I can soar.  
 
Knowing I am truly free  
to be the one  
I'm meant to be  
This is my chance  
I must pick me.  
 
I can see my future  
with the healing of the past  
I won't live in tomorrow  
for today is how I fast.
