hi my name is julia you may know me as jewel389
thanks for reading
i was hopeing you could tell me your opinion of my poem if you can?
I look into your eyes and snap goes the trap.
I hear your voice and the world and the lights fain
I stand there stark still the first day of a new year a new path .
There is a spotlight on both of us. An electric moment in time.
I am hardly breathing heart beating.

I don’t want this I tell myself..
Even as i struggle against the chains of my refusal that hold me back.
But there we stand a frozen moment in time.


I am feeling squeezed like a lime.
So I tell myself lets flip a mental dime.
See where it lands.
See what the hands of fate have to say

Heads I’ll talk to him.
Tails I’ll never look back at what could have been.

I smile at him
He smiles back.
As I watch the coin slow in my mind. I feel my heart taking sides. Being torn in two



Will the fates give me pleasure or cause me pain?
Will they be averse to this possible union of minds and hearts?

As the dime lands and as it trembles
The door of possibilities is creacking
Shut or open
I am not sure

For all the fates have to say is in the coin on the floor.


thanks
