    the choice

     she means no harm
    it's a split second reaction
    and love doesn't come
    through doors open wide-
    it sneaks in
    and soaks in
    a flash and a flicker
    it leaks in
    and falls short-
    a fleeting deposition
    of fight or flight-
    she risks stability
    but feels the breeze
    she chooses havoc
    and seeks control of certainties-
    and when she falls
    she aches with solitude
    and weeps for hope

    thank you so much! :)

    If I feel physically as if the top of my head were taken off, I know that is poetry.

    Emily Dickinson (1830-1886) American poet.
