Choices

Of kings 'n queens and love machines,
broken hearts and shattered dreams

Silent prayers of hope untold,
wanting...waiting...to rash...to bold

Lonely nights and endless rain,
a thin red line between joy and pain

A gentle kiss is the chance taken,
but unwarranted affection behold the forsaken

Rejection pierces swiftly like a drill,
but indifference cuts deeper and deeper still.
