The Choice

His soul wrestles with release Entangled in an invisible web Tormenting his dreams His courage weak with regret He could not walk away He could not simply replace The one he turned from The one who set him free within her lover's embrace Memories casting shadows Creating future doubt Distance does not pause him He continues to reach out Like a drowning victim He reaches for her soul Trying to paint the shadows Of what they once did know The familiarity so comforting The sex so alive Will he find courage to reunite Or will he let it die
