Crossroads

The rain pours
Everflowing water
My heart evaporates
Aches for love

I can search no more
Look but not find
Seek and yet be lost
Cry and not be comforted

I can go no further
Walk no more
I have no choice
For the way is blocked

Shall I pursue it?
Will myself to move on?
Force my every being to comply?
For I have been burnt, hurt, crucified

My heart bore on a stick
My feelings crushed into dust
My every being taunted
My soul cries

Finally I come to the crossroads
On which path should I embark?
The path of solitude and loneliness?
Or the path wrought with danger?
The one path that will bring happiness and joy
But full of mystery and deception

I have once been on this path
Burnt and scorched
Should I brave this road?
Or take the easy path of loneliness?

I’m still sitting at these crossroads
Contemplating my faith
Looking for directions
Waiting for an answer
Listening for a sound
