Just One....

by Becca Morton

Time and Time again
I've been torn apart....
Choosing sides breaks my heart....

My tear stained cheeks are deeply flushed
I've cried for hours past dawn
What if I made a mistake?
What if I chose wrong?

I was told to pick just one of you....
I couldn't love you both....
How do you pick one from the other....
The two people I loved most....

All it took was one word from him…
To make me understand
The life he had wanted for me…
Was not what I had planned

Do you choose the left path or the right, or continue straight ahead? Cause there's no going back. Very well put Becca. I especially like the closure in that last stanza.
