The Choice~



It is so tempting...

Uncertainty claws at me.

Which way is right?

It's too shadowy to see.

I cannot choose-

I know you're a lie,

But the pull towards you

Is so strong that I...

Cannot tell left from right,

Right from wrong;

Fire from water,

Weeping from song.

You're a deceiver,

A weaver of lies,

I long to run,

To heed those inner cries.

Trapped between two paths,

A critical choice to make-

You blind me with falsehoods,

A blue-eyed, conniving snake.

And then the truth awakens,

The time to choose draws near.

I face you with defiance,

My decision is now clear...

I'll leave you, fell serpent,

I won't be caught in your snare-

I rid myself of you.

Try another day... if you dare.
