No Choice


First love, parted by time
shared again, raptures kiss
sweet bliss...
too blind to see

A slap in the face
not from hands
from truth
reality, a punch in the gut

A golden ring we shared
a dream come true
take the chance, dare to love it away

No choice
the monster too strong
no strength, no fight
only tears...
what might have been

You had to go
a walking shell
walls of fear, nails driven
not what you needed, unbearable pain

Always in my dreams
do you live? did you die?
only heaven knows...
I had no choice

BloomingRose~
This one's kind of sad ...

'A slap in the face
not from hands
from truth'


^ Great line ^

'only tears...
what might have been'


Sad when the might-have-been's taunt us.

The might of beens can haunt ones every being until a closure of some sort is brought forth to the table.  Your words
inspire as the truth of life shows in your words below as they rip and tear at us.

A slap in the face
not from hands
from truth
reality, a punch in the gut

Marge,
Think I wrote this one to myself. It's been a few years since all that. You know what they say... you can't recapture the past. Some have too much baggage, I had to learn the hard way. btw... the sun did shine for me once more.
Thanks for reading.

Mark,
Sometimes truth is worse than a slap in the face, but like I said to Marge, that was then and now the sun shines once again, although the memories will always be...both good and bad.
