Memories of the Past

I'm hanging on to the memory of what once was, When I felt loved,cherished and adored. Now I just feel tolerated by you. Was it all an illusion? Did I ever have your heart? I'm beginning to think that we were only make believe. Now I'm at a crossroad in my life. Should I leave this sham of a marriage or should I stay? I choose the road of the unknown and I'm terrified as hell. But I can't stay here, If I do I will surely die…… Contest: Crossroad Sponsor: Silent One 9-15- 19

Deep and emotive, life is a balance of holding on and letting go... we all come to a crossroads in our lives.... it is never an easy decision what to do..

A big cross road indeed -- such emotions that it engages the heart and each of your words brings pain, hope, lost, a new beginning . . .
