Choices

With all you’ve been through it’s easy to see Why you’ve chosen to lead this life of Seclusion… A powerful man with values Who lost himself along the way You turned pain into something real Something tangible for all to see You’ve had your share of heartbreak Women too proud to love you And only you, for who you are More importantly, who you’ve become For you the answer was simple Shut down, close off the world Make sure to guard your heart Never let anyone close enough to see the scars But while your heart was sealed And your world closed down Did you ever stop to think That maybe you were missing HER? What if she were right in front of you Waiting for you to simply notice her And the scars didn’t matter But you never opened your eyes? I can accept not allowing yourself To love another woman After all, it’s your pain and sadness Something I would wish upon no other But don’t tell me you’re not going To allow yourself to be loved Because that choice is not yours …it’s mine
