My Decision Poem by Allysyn Bryant

I think of how you kissed me
After you said that you had missed me
My heart is breaking,
My hands are shaking,
I can’t even finish eating…
I just keep thinking.

I glace out the window
And see the old widow
Where we had shared
Even thou we were scared
I see a bird fly by
I wipe another tear from my eye.

The decision I must make
Brings me to an ache
I know I must find
My own peace of mind
As I put the dishes away
I remember the date today
I sigh, a year ago, you were
Someone I thought I’d never forgo.

Yet since that day you asked
For me to come to you
I began to see the truth
That none of it has been true

You’ve been back two days now
Something just isn’t right, I don’t know how
With all the rumors I hear around
It makes my heart pound
And my head spin round.
It must be a nightmare I say
That’s a lie yet I deny the truth anyway.

When I asked you for the truth today
I knew instantly that it was all a lie.
The simple truth was all I asked from you
Now I know that you were nothing but untrue.
If that's how you must be, then fine
I will no longer call you mine.

By this time tomorrow
Hopefully I won't drown in my own sorrow
For I have made my decision
Neither easy nor welcomed, but this I know I must do
I will no longer be hurt by you.
