Who Will Be......

When more than one man wants your love, but doesn't give love in return!

Lifes a journey of choices.

Voices plea for her love.

Cords of fear bound her

to realization she has to choose.

 

One tells her he will  be....

A handkerchief when tears

like sea billows flow.

Her air when she can't breathe.

 

The other tells her he will be....

A safe haven from the storms of life.

Glasses to help her find her way.

 

Deep wounds of decisions

bleed for her to pick.

Heavy heart breaks from the weight.

 

One tells her he will be....

Pills to take the pain away.

A pillow to lean her head on.

 

The other tells her he will be....

An alarm clock to keep her going.

A book she can't put down.

 

Her soul is darkened,

master problem is in charge.

Bottle of remedies she looks for.

 

One tells her he will be....

Her sweetness when she needs

a piece of chocolate.

A credit card to keep her happy.

 

The other tells her he will be....

Her shot full of spirit-booster.

A comedian to keep her laughing.

 

Personal life is infected

with promises.

She feels like she is connected

by dots, and they're about to

break apart.

 

One tells her he will be....

Arms that blanket her from harm.

Her light in the darkness.

 

The other tells her he will be....

A song she can't get out of her head.

A life vest that keeps her afloat

when sadness gets her down.

 

She wonders which one

will make love their home?

 

Asphalt faces with empty eyes

stare back at her.

Decision made, she turns

and leave in search of

who will be....

Good..!!!

Wow, that was awesome! I really like this one alot.
As always you come up with the perfect endings.

[Coyote Poetry]

Hard to really open up. I always believe a woman decide when a man is allowed in her life. I like the may option you described in the poem. Sometime we just know what is right and hold on tight. I like the ending. Sometime better not to be concern. Roll with life and hope for a good ending. Thank you for a outstanding poem.

What a brilliant fork in the road.
Beautiful.

[Ladysue]

oh that was my first thought as i was reading...to walk away and find the one where there is no wondering...excellently done...

[Tina Kline]

People make promises, they are easy, but not so easy to keep or never planned to be kept. I think she made the best choice and that was not to chose between them. If it doesn't feel right than turn away. Nice job on this.

heartwrenching...choices of the heart are never easy...and it comes down, sometimes, to compromise
