CHOICES

It’s been a while.
No, I lie, it’s never been.
My ambivalent fears, my salient tears
Hidden away
From the world and you
My hand quivering, I write to reveal
I have watched you
In silent reverie
Hopes and dreams we may have shared
And your fears, never mine
But now I lay here broken
And all I can hope is for is… some reaffirmation.
