Paths

A twisting path does lie ahead
where my desires must be fed.
The road it goes from here to there,
which way to go, I just don't care.
It's not the best thing I could do
to choose the path that leads to you,
for when I look that way I see
the broken mess that could be me,
to give the love I feel inside
with leave me with nowhere to hide.
You'd have it all and in return
my heart is left to slowly burn.
You care enough to roll the dice
but what you feel does not suffice.
Now there I am, I'm all alone
I can not breathe, I cry and groan,
all torn and hurt I'm pushed away
left to fight another day.
So I turn and face the other road
which also bears a heavy load.
To choose this way would leave me blind
for with this path you're left behind.
I walk along with deep regret,
forever more I pay the debt.
I am so lost, I feel so cold,
my dream of you I did not hold,
for selfishness did take control
now lonely tears I must console.
I'm holding back, I am refined
when suddenly there's love defined.
But though I see another's face
I can not seem to fill your place.
So here I stand, two paths I see,
I must choose one, which will it
Is leaving what I have to do,

or do I risk my heart on you?
