Paths

Poor, worried, scared, confused,
The young girl, no not girl any longer,
The young women comes once more to the fork
In the road she's gone down both paths, many times before
But this time, she knows not of which her heart calls to.

Take the road of tears?
A road she's walk so many times before.
A path that despite it's sad name...
wasn't sad for her, she smiled along that path.
Laughed, grinned and dreamed.
This path she loved all to well before.

For when she walked this path, he always was near.
When her feet walked down the tear stained road,
He was there to make her smile and feel as if all was well.
He made the tears stop quickly but hurt her heart as well.
She knows this path was unhealthy, but she loves it all the same.
She wants to walk once more this road of pain, agony, and distraught
If it means to bring him back near her again.

But her eyes linger on the other path, that lay also so close
Should she instead travel down the road of hopes?
She's walked down this path only once before,
It was short and brief but she loved every minute of it.
She walked it for one, and only one.
To who still still holds dear, but maybe time has come for him to disappear.

She wonders if this new boy, will make her feel the same
She wonders if the road will be the same
As it was with him will it be the same?
Will this road bring her happiness as it did before?
She falls to her knees, shaken to her core.

The young lady, can't make up her mind.
Take the well worn path of Tears and Smiles
Or
Take the road of Happiness and Fears?
Pick the path in which he will be right there
Or
Take the path and leave her heart and past behind?
She can not dare to think though, of what her heart might do,
If she just turned and walked away from you know who.
She then thinks of what her broken heart would do,
knowing that deep inside she might never be back with him.
