That One Moment

That moment when your fears run amok And you realize tears wont be enough That moment when you embrace isolation Not to face your inner confrontation That moment when her beauty impales your courage And you wonder if you might deserve this That moment when she looks into his eyes And youre forcing yourself not to cry That moment when your poetic art Doesnt fill the emptiness in your heart That moment when youve lost the fight And you find yourself scorched by the light That moment when she brings about your end Because you know you cant bear this pain again.

I think many of us having had 1 love we would have died for and 'almost did?' decide the next time around to go for a less all absorbing love, I don't know if its the right choice but then again...death didn't seem the right choice either / well put write! Light & Love
