Today
Morning grows across the sky,
the dawn of a new day,
sunlight breaks amidst the clouds,
a guest unresolved to stay.
The lakes surface shimmers blissfully,
with a calmness all its own,
and helps my mind to settle,
as I sit there all alone.
Decisions drench my mind,
Like a storm filled with rage,
Torrents of emotions,
Trapped within this cage.
So many years together,
Seldom were we apart,
Now crashing down upon me,
Engulfing my spirit, my heart.
Today I have chosen,
Painful as it may be,
To start my life over,
For now I am free.
The pain of duplicity,
Always mine to bear,
Forgiveness seems to distant,
As my eyes fill with tears.
I can stay in deep depression,
Thoughts too heavy to weigh,
Or choose to live a life,
That shall begin today.
