I lie alone, mulling on ideas
In and out of consciousness I slip
As if my very essence ebbs away
My possibilities are also my fears
As if, on the way to heaven, I trip
I must bite the bullet and choose today

I cry alone, choking on my regret
As all hope must now perish with a rush
As I slowly stutter my excuses
This is the lowest point in my life yet
Frustrated, I give him a little push
Burning out his already short fuses

I cover my face, hiding my shame
My errors were sensational
Now everyone is hurt
Like shrapnel in the dirt
Unintentional
No one’s to blame.

I muse alone, thinking it through
The tears have dried so I see
Things haven’t turned out too bad
And to my word I have stayed true
A choice was made, so it will be
I must learn from the painful lessons had

I choose alone, making amends
As the debris of hatred begins to clear
And the aftermath is better than ever
The choice I made is one to remember forever
I know the ones I must hold so dear
Are the truest and my best of friends

I don’t believe in regret
For if you change one mistake
A thousand paths that’s right
Would blow away out of sight
And the inevitable wrong route you’d take
Making the biggest blunder yet

Life is like a photograph
It must take negatives to develop
And shake it though you may
The ink wont wear away
The memories simply envelop
As I remember taking the righteous path
