No Choice
By Kenneth R. Cabrieto

     Locked in,
     Trapped,
     There is no escape.
     Ever since I met you my whole life changed.
     Though some things are better
     A lot more of them are worse.
     It's so sad that in love
     You were my first.
     Haven't got the words
     To tell you how this feels.
     Hoping and praying that some of this isn't real.
     It's just so unfair
     That I have to choose.
     Whichever way I go
     I have something to lose.
     It's you I have to let go of
     But that's not really what I want.
     You were the best thing in my life
     But they all feel you're wrong.
     I'm sorry,
     I love you
     But I have to say so long.
     I'm sorry,
     I love you
     But I'm just not that strong.
