by Rabab Khan
Choice When the darkness weds the soul, The deepening chasms of despair Rejoice and open wide To show a glimpse Of what dwells inside. Past the deceptive lips of liberty, Across the soft moistness of past joys, Down a path slippery with tears, Fall deeper and lose consciousness Of all that was life. Fall completely and awake To all that is lost. Reason I asked, Love may blight your life, cause the light to fade, and the days to darken. A moment’s joy, a lifetime of pain. Why do you stay where only sorrows reside? He replied, Because I love.
