Decide

You act like you know desire But you know nothing About true passion, Few really do. I don’t want this- To give up a soul? In hopes for life? Why, this is hire and salary, not revenge! A life for life? In the end Neither really matters. But on that day When the eyes of something Greater Look down upon a powerless frightened mouse They will feel shame. All of us have been instructed But none are golden, or pearl The white in your heart matches the white on your sleeve, But I am pigeon-livered and lack gall! Neither you nor I can alter tonight But choices- This choice, Will so bestow ourselves that seeing unseen. And it’s true That inside Will be dark and frigid And cold But light will rein down Outside Or so one can hope If they can believe In what they are told. In the end, Both will lie in ruin. Purgatory Will slowly consume What was once thought Noble. I do believe No penance Shall repay you What will soon be lost. I am wretched, for I hold my duty as I do my soul- With uncertainty, and hate. Both should not be, And both haunt what is left of me. To be or not to be, that is the question We both must answer. Yet, no answer Can save us. And so, I have Decided- No answer.
