The Crossroads

(poems go here) Her true friends thought she was with them Her other friends were assured she was theirs She stood at a fork in the road Feeling her heart start to tear. She flitted to one side Then back to the other Staring down both paths Going from one to another. Looking from good to clearly wrong The good looked full of promise Hope and much faith Like the buds of spring shooting from the ground The path full of wrong looked much fun With risk and a bit of danger She watched in intently The thrill of risk drawing her forward Her true friends called her name Her friends full of wrong though staked a claim She kept on her path forward Fun and thrill her only aim She glanced back to see to shadows The dark closing in Slowly she walked now Caution setting in Pain and panic seeking a way into her Wrapping around her Ensuring no way back A dark forrest of no light A bottomless well An endless fall into despair An ocean of tears consuming all else. One decision One choice All the good erased One decision A crossroads
