Decisions

Broken and afraid 
I waited to be saved 
By a word 
Or a lover
Perhaps a memory forgotten 
Maybe a stranger's obligation 
By another shattered soul
Or a knife to the heart
Perhaps poison in the wine
Maybe just drown in a shallow bay
Still broken
I no longer wait 
What is this?
My life
My fate
