Somewhere over the summit
Lies and waits a smile
Trekking through uncertainty
Brings me closer to denial, and
Further from the safety
Which protected me from you
Turn back or trudge on?
The choice is mine to choose
My life floods before me
Twisted as the Nile
The ups, the downs, the chaos
Swimming in your guile
My eyes focus upward
Your path: impossibly cruel
A choice to forever define me
Frozen—I recuse myself from ever having to choose.
