The Reflection of Shadows: Next

 The Reflection of Shadows

A collection of moments
Next

Trembling with thoughts gone spiraling, 
Wondering if my head's lying, 
Believing that my heart is true - 
My next decision is for you.

Decades passed and hopes have flattened, 
Time has shown a steady pattern, 
Broken promises - and new - 
My next actions are for you.

Worth the cost; the loss is worse
In missing out on every first, 
A life adjusted, life renewed - 
My next life begins with you.

There'll be no dealing, no cascading
Waterfall of bargains, failing, 
Each temptation fades from view -
All my nexts belong to you.
