Two Paths

When I look upon your face

All I see is my disgrace

A love unfounded

A heart displaced

There was a time this was not so

But it has passed as the wind does blow

In a different light

I may not seem to be in this plight

But none the less

It hurts as if had pierced my breast

A sword hidden in the night

Disguised by my blinding fright

The way in which I head

Is hidden by my dread

Should I turn aside and leave it be?

Or continue on and see what I see?

Take the path towards the one I hold dear?

And risk seeing all that I fear

Or take the unknown road

And hope to find Theseus’ twine

A risk I must take

But a choice I dare not make

When I look upon your face

I may not seem to be in this plight

It hurts as if had pierced my breast

A sword hidden in the night

Disguised by my blinding fright

And risk seeing all that I fear

Or take the unknown road

And hope to find Theseus’ twine

A risk I must take

But a choice I dare not make
