Hesitation
The stiffening of a muscle
You stand still
You search for that will
But what if its lost
That moment of hesitation
From no action
People know, their words , they must ration
To prevent a crack in a heart unbroken
The seconds too late
The reason for a love unknown
Life being lived at a slower rate
Because of that slight hesitation
A life unlived
The no before the jump
A memory, lost in time
Leaving a a person unchanged
Leaving an event unmade
