To Change the Course I Chose to Take
So this is where I feel the shame. The stunted wins of halfhearted games; the sour sting of heavyhanded blame. I deserve the hard lashes. I accept the sharp pain.
Yours is the heart that I covet. Glowing respect for promises I kept; not regret for what I haven't done yet. I still long for you, bashful. I receive rejection.
I learned so much then turned away. The graceful way that you saunter then sway; emulating your style to fade away. I called for something lasting. I accept three short days.
Now all we have is this moment. Not enough to make world-shifting attempts; but maybe enough to make one dent. At last I am accountable. Ready to choose once again.
