love or life
It felt so good to look behind me,
See all that we have been through,
To look in front of me,
See all that we have yet to share,
And to look beside me,
To see you there holding my hand.
You were the other half of myself,
My best friend forever we would say.
I trusted you more than myself,
with everything i had to give.
I thought that was enough.
But when i shared with you how i loved,
You took it for yourself.
Went behind my heart and took my meaning.
You took the man i needed for myself.
And now he wants me back, again.
Now i have the choice,
a choice for my love,
To keep it for me,
Or give it away to you,
after you so selfishly took it away.
You, that was half my soul, my life.
How could i choose between life and love?
I can't.
I can't let you have him,
but i can't give you away too.
So i choose nothing.
Never will words leave my lips in kindness,
Never will they curse,
I choose to take myself,
In a choice, i choose death.
