I walk this empty hallway.
Not quite knowing where it leads.
All I know is that in the end, I see a light.
I'm almost there when I hear it.
His whisper of my name in the slight breeze.
I turn and see my darkest fear.
I barely feel myself moving but when I look down my feet are gliding towards him.
Then I hear my name again.
This time from a sweeter, higher voice.
I turn toward where the light is and see myself.
She's smiling.
She's free.
I look back at him and he too is smiling.
I look at him, my love...
I look at me, my freedom...
Right when I begin to walk towards my choice.
The floor beneath me disappears.
I shoot up in my bed, examining my surroundings.
I bury my head in my hands.
It's then I realize I didn't- no- don't have a choice.
My freedom and my love walk right next to me, bragging to me what I can't have.
Because I have lost both from my stupidity and I live with the consequences.
