Crossroad

Stranded on a lonely road,

I strode on to find a crossroad.

Two paths went in different directions,

Which path to take was the looming question.

Whether or not I would be able to reach my goal,

Depended upon the path I left alone.

As I stood and pondered over the situation,

Time flew by, witnessing my desperation.

My indecision fueled my anger,

I could not hold it in any longer;

I was about to put an end to everything,

When suddenly I saw you approaching.

All the cares of the world, rushed out of my mind,

I felt as though I could leave everything behind;

But happiness is usually short-lived,

And I soon realized;

 that your presence was merely imagined.

Reality dawned upon me,

Not believing in the things I see,

I cried out for you, expecting to hear your voice,

But you were not there, you had already made your choice.

Dejected and estranged, I fell on the ground,

Drifting away to a place where I can never be found.
