The Doorway Between Freedom & Forever

Slowly I walked into Forever.

Manipulated into thinking that love had no secrets.

I am all packed and ready to go.

Standing in the doorway between Freedom and Forever.

I become weak and my legs won't move.

My back is turned away from Forever and I am facing Freedom.

Forever calls me saying, "Don't leave me...Baby, I need you."

I turn around.

My face wet with the anxiety of my tears.

Forever holds out his hand.

"You forgot something Baby..." he says.

In his hand lies my heart....

I get frantic.

.:I thought I packed her:.

"GIVE HER BACK!"..."PLEASE!"

.:She's all I have:.

.:She's all of me:.

Forever kisses her and holds her tight.

"Don't worry baby, I got her, I got you, I love you, I'm so sorry..."

My legs once stationery move towards Forever.

.:I love you:.

.:I can't leave:.

I turn to face the door to Freedom.

She beckons for me to come forth.

She whispers: "Life is sweeter on the other side...just let go."

.:She has a point:.

.:"I can do bad all by myself":.

I look at my Forever with my heart in his hands...

I look at Freedom with promise in her hands...

My legs begin to move.

I walk slowly towards....
