A Choice

[Sara Tonin]

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

Reading this gave me the most dreadful feeling. Life is too short to let other people bring you down instead of up. Grab your lifesaver and shine on

I know how this feels Sara and youve described it more beautifully than i ever could. its sad but sometimes it really does come down to either walking away or going down with their ship. this is a wonderful peice of writing. thank you for posting it

Thank you for seeing positivity, underneath all of the darkness (exactly what I had intended). This piece was intense to write and came from deep down inside. It was a difficult choice to make but I don't regret it at all.
