Lifes way of reducing
a heart to a shell
it gives you such joy
then tosses you in hell- -
for upon a road
once traveled with care-
only giving out feelings
to those who had dared-
seeking out pleasures
only shared on a whim
and keeping what meant a damn
hidden within.
then comes...
a turn in the road
a division of ways-
which would you chose..
how would you spend your days?
continue the path
of the carefully placed step-
only giving and taking
when your appetite was wet..
or perhaps down the way
yet unmapped and unknown..
to feel what you experience-
to see how you grow..
either way though..
it matters not which you take
for all seems to lead down the way
of joy.. then heartache!
