Choices

When someone comes in
And touches your life
Your path becomes altered
As if cut by a knife

The feelings are real
The joy is intense
Do you through caution to the wind
Or do you walk on the fence

You have to be careful
Which method you chose
Because one of them
Will cause you to lose

The game is a gamble
You’re playing for keeps
Do you just break the surface
Or jump in knee deep

Choose wisely young one
For soon you will see
That the path that you choose
May cause them to flee

Just lead with your heart
And hope they are true
For the one that gets hurt
Will always be you

Joey, that is soulful. you are a wonderful writer.

You're are a poet, no doubt! Your message flows like a river and your metaphors fit like a glove.
