Decision point

By BetaWolfinVA

at which point do you
stop dithering o'er reaching
for that which you want
so dearly that you forsake
all society demands
-
shall i embark on
the road which may yet claim my
life, integrity
hoping that he shares with me
whom i thought i shared with him
-
should i divorce her
she that has done me no wrong
free her to find love
the fires of true passion
she deserves to find love too
-
will i finish days
with children as your second
or dead, suit refused
as your husband takes your just
vengeance on my tortured soul
-
will i be the man
that i should always have been
yours in mind, body
as i have been in my soul
should never have made you leave
-
were i to make my
true intentions known, which first
would then have happened:
metal stiff against my head?
something else stiff in my hand?
-
or just let her play
with me occasionally
continue watching
lovingly dominating,
while i provide sweet soft love
-
an end to pain or
beginnings of joy, would her
lies o'er turn my truth
that i pledged to her all those
years ago, despite her lies
-
i have found that i
have room in my heart for her
and someone else or,
sadly, only room for her
those that made me choose all lost

    I have to admit, I hate making decisions. I also, know I hate sharing, and would not be able to live with someone who has torched me in the past. I always believe in moving forward, even though I may step in the wrong direction often, it just makes more sense. Poetically speaking, this was fun to read. It's definitely relatable on many levels....not sure if relatable is a real word

    i dont think that either of them torched me, more self inflicted... i always figured that i was sharing her, or would be sharing her... Scholar

    Three is a crowd, and some women are never satisfied for long, unlike we men (HA!). Anyway, the decision may not be yours to make, good luck!
