You Chose

You chose to walk a path being so sure of where it would lead,
You chose to walk the path thinking someone cared enough
To stop you before it was too late.

You chose and knew you where correct.
You chose and walked feeling secure.
You knew that what was yours was yours.

You choose to follow back in your own steps.
Returned and walked back to the start and saw…
Oh how you must see now…that what you thought you had…
Sadly, did not.

And even though you stand where there is no return,
You mourned.
You grieved the kind words you never heard.
You grieved your own mistake of lying to your heart.

When it spoke of truth
You simply did not want to hear.
You knew the end was near,
And yet you chose to walk.

You cut and killed the life of it
…you tore it from its root,
And poisoned every bit that's left,
And this is why there's nothing there to save.

You choose to follow back in your own steps.
Returned and walked back to the start and see….
That what was yours is not.

And only you are to blame.
