Once there was such passion <br />moments shared for hours or days <br />replaced with such tension <br />we cough a laugh and move on <br /> <br />Years ago you insisted <br />I extinguish any feelings <br />That I had for another <br />I was to be yours alone <br /> <br />But what you keep <br />in your heart for another <br />you won't release it <br />you nuture it and so it remains <br /> <br />Now you have no desire <br />just a sense of obligation <br />to keep for them a home <br />where we all sleep at night <br /> <br />So I must wait for you <br />to make time for us <br />a few minutes together <br />as our day ends <br /> <br />You say I will regret <br />if I force you to choose too soon <br />which says to me <br />the choice has been made<br /><br />David Degnan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-choice-20/
