Simply

Lost around a crowd of faces
 lost in my mind, trying desperately
to find answers
Knowing the choices, but not what to choose
 the possibilities are there
yet lacking the will to decide
Once I decide, there's no turning back
 do I let it slide, hope for the best?
Or do I simply walk away?
The latter painful to begin
 but it will fade
Yet if I stay, how much more 
 can I possibly take?
I know what I want, but I feel I'm
the only one who does
Can it work? Will it work?
Sometimes it just won't work
Leaving you to hold on, get hurt
  or
Let go completely, slowly heal
But what if you love them?
Do you allow it to continue, allow it to hurt?
Or do you just turn cold, allow them to decide for you?
Simplicity at it's best?
No such thing
