Choices

My days are filled with endless doubt

I hardly sleep at night

A prisoner of the things I’ve done

That never turned out right

A victim of my choices

Enslaved by my mistakes

Scarred, afraid and lonely

Only a true heart breaks

I’ve been a fool for many things

While seldom thinking twice

But no one walks away unscathed

I’ve always paid a price

And now my steps are not so sure

Afraid that I may falter

A foolish sacrificial lamb

Left standing at the altar

Bravery is for the young

It fades with passing years

Forgetting all the laughter

And stung by all the tears

And still I give this heart away

I am a fool, you see

For living without love, I know

Would be the end of me
