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
