Loneliness, languishing, lost, and love.On this path I never chose,In a life I never expected.Oh, the ache,The anguish.Never have I felt such depth of pain,Sorrow,Betrayal.I ache for choices long lost to me,and wonder;Why did I not take the other path?Words cannot tell the hollowness inside.But if only they could.My heart has been chiseled from my chest,Leaving me lonely,The only relief floods like rain as tears.I did all I could—That I cannot deny—Yet, this sorrow and grief makes me suffer alone.My fight was in vain,My strength not enough.And I wonder;Why did I not take another path?The choice was there,The options free,Maybe the other would have been best for me?I gave my heart,My body,My life and soul,Yet, it wasn’t enough.It was never enough.Why was it not enough?Now I look back and regret swells,Making the pain grow, and rip, and tear.Now I look back to see,The options that were once there for me,Are gone.Lost.Hopelessly, I move along,My mind a blur,My heart-song gone.A faded life.A broken soul.How can I go on?Lord, only you know.
