A Choice

I reach for your face
my hands rest around the edges
I look at your eyes and
they're empty for me
they look through me
no reconition
no matter
you're cold
and inside you're dying
and I'm catching the chill
should I lie here and sink
next to you
with my hand in yours?
should I let this disease
mutate and grow inside of me?
I can still get up and shake off
the dust
no one will even know how close I came
if I just pick myself up
gain some composure
throw away
irrational thoughts
in moments
of memories that are too painful to
remember
you stay
I'll go
I'm leaving you to drown
where you've been
treading all along
freedom is way too precious
to throw away on
someone else's
misery

That was very awsome. I just drifted right into it and felt like I knew what you felt through your write here.

Thank you
I used to post in Words all of the time. I just got away from it, most likely because I've been pretty happy. I tend to write when I'm sad or angry.
