Alone have I existed.
Solitary in this world,
curious as to where
this road does end.
Is it in the fulfillment
of a dream career,
or the satisfaction
to be reached
within his arms?
Will my path be of love?
As I have so longed for,
or shall I turn
towards the horizon,
away from his outstretched hand?
Do I acquiesce, give in
to the desire that burns
so deep within my core,
or live in loneliness
that I am comfortable in?
This shall haunt my mind
for years to come,
for my path is clear.
I just wish I could turn back
to fall so gloriously
into his arms.
