Other-self Dreams (leaves of Unrequitable)

But what can you do with the leftover feelings?
That sparkle and dance and delight and ignite you
But otherwise could not or should not be seen?
When something inside you yells
    "Something must give!"
When other-self dreams
    have their own will to live
The decisions we make and the roads that we take
    (like the Choice of all choices
    that we vow not to break
    that's an exitless highway
    however smooth, sweet and straight!)
Can close off later turns
    that just might have been great
And then just for spite (or a side-twist of fate?)
Our road winds us close to a might-have-been site
Invites us to wonder, "Is it really too late?"
Can other-self dreams be brought into the light?
Without crossing the line into something not right?
That would fester in dark self-denying suppression
If not given release, not allowed an expression
There MUST be a side-road or circuitous route
That lets all these leftover Feelings get out!
