Crossroads?

When over turns into reality

And love fades in time

Epic moments seem like dreams

Then empty promises creep in

Hearts scar and smiles fade

While silence changes everything

Healing takes its sweet time

When all I wanted was here and now

A hug, a kiss, a whisper of forever

Replaced by a single phrase

Not right now, I'm broken

I can't help but wonder

If next time will be different

The thought of endless potential

Now seems just out of reach

A setback on life's journey

Another poem in my collection

I've traded ashes for gold

Transformed words into art

Through it all I've learned

Take nothing for granted

And love with ALL your heart
