Poetry
Chose

If time were to replace

all of the memories we’ve had

I’d ask the sky for patience

and one more life to add

With every word I write

if I can give the moon to you

I’d choose the gift of love

over it all, my word is true

The day a storm inside

demanded me to walk away

I’d replace the strength to fight it

And always

choose you…

So this I say.

If dusk consumed my soul

regretting all that I have done

I’d choose to stay inside

the world that we’ve begun

If dreams were to replace

everything we’ve felt to date

I’d choose to stay asleep

With you

in my dreams…

So this I say.

I’d choose you over mountains

no matter how big they seem

I’d choose you over rivers

and swim against the stream

I’d choose you over deserts

and forever quench your soul

I’d choose you over all

and love you, don’t you know?

I chose you every time…

although,

you never chose me.

And so I say.

I crashed against the mountains

and drowned into the streams

The moon looked back in horror

and shook his head at me

My love disappeared

and succumbed into the storm

My heart told the sky

this cannot happen anymore

The dusk took back

all that has been lost

My sanity was the price

my foolishness had cost

The desert still remains

without rain so this I say

My dream was just a dream,

and I’ll be on my way.

So I chose again…

to leave

you.
