When I close my eyes to sleep
The same dream begins to replay
Showing what is in my heart deep
And slowly but surely I do stray
Down the road and seeing my choices
I see the path for which I’ve trod
But to the right I see new path poses
A choice in the past that was flawed
And though the way not clear
As my emotions begin to stir
I hurried pass this path I fear
The past now seems to blur
In my head quarries rise and fall
And now before my eyes I see
The choices of my past I recall
The life and person I could be
The person I am is so cold
The person inside has died
My appearance is far from old
My emotions I try to hide
But buried deep within this heart
Is a person so sincere and nice
Now that person did depart
And so I am like ice
Knowing what I do now I am sad
Now I see the person I should’ve been
Despair sets in and I realize I’m not bad
But I shall never be the person I was again
On the whole I regret little in my life
Justifying my choices I know its true
The pain stabbing me like a dull knife
Where to go from here I have no clue
Neither path has never been less clear
My life I’m not able to call my own
But I know that I still continue to steer
Maybe some day I will return home
To the person that used to love carefree
I shall see my frozen heart beat once more
And like a phoenix bursting through the debris
My heart, my soul, shall rise from the depths and soar

wow, the rhyme was perfect and flowed smoothly. And I enjoyed greatly this peace I understand it and yet it's hard to put into words. Nicely done UNT

Very good
"the way not clear" -"the way's not clear". This is a privileged trip through the soul with a stop over in the heart. Your words are simple and powerful, carrying more than their weight in truth. A short stroll through life being lead by the hand of experience. This poem opens a window into the soul of the author that is pleasing to the heart, and we wish her well.

Thank you very much
I thank you for your words of praise. I had noticed the grammatical error after I posted it, but have not had a chance to correct it. I must say though that I am a man… though I suppose that being as thoughtful and emotionally fluent as a women is quite a complement ;-)
