a fork in the road

catefrances

she stands in the middle of the path
with a smile on her face and caution by her side
she wills her strength to see her through

she stands in the middle of the path
the division line drawn tight
he knows she will not hesitate when he shows his hand

she stands in the middle of her life
turns and looks behind to what could have been
she knows every step she took brought her to this one place

she stands in the middle of the path
hears him say her name, a whisper on the wind
she steps forward to feel him breathe life into her soul
