My Choice


he silently watched
and held my hand
knowing that the tears were for
the love of another man
but he would not go
would not leave my side
even when I had hurt him
crushed him deep inside
no pushing no shoving
no loud tone in his voice
just waiting for me
me and my choice
quietly there in his silence
loving only me
waiting for me to let go
and finally be free

"I have already paid for all my future sins."  Sade...(King of Sorrow)
