*Just a quote* <br />Slowly pick the flower petals <br />Watch them flutter to the ground <br />Only to be picked up by the wind… <br />-------- <br /> <br />Broken and cold against the starlit night <br />Flames from a fire barely bringing warmth <br />Such a silly girl <br />Such a foolish heart <br /> <br />Tired and exhausted <br />The game of love is an ever-changing one <br />Love me…love me…love me <br />Forget me…forget me…forget me <br /> <br />Naïve little heart that jumped into a sea <br />Again it forgot it could not swim and now look at me <br />Set once more to rescue the babe as it struggles to survive <br />Long ago I detached myself so I could live my life <br /> <br />Yet here it is <br />Sound in my chest <br />Causing emotion that I know I am over <br />Yet here it is jumping again <br /> <br />Frustrated mind that screams in agony <br />The logic of that heart is not right at all <br />It breaks the body down and slowly I must repair it <br />It will try to swim and stay afloat, knowing that it can’t <br /> <br />Two ways to go <br />One choice to make <br />Should I try and stay afloat and swim? <br />Or keep safe at the shoreline and walk away <br /> <br />Listen to logic and reason <br />Or follow your instincts that have proven fatal time and time again<br /><br />Vanessa Kingsley<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/two-ways-3/
