My heart is heavy like a stone
Paining me with every breath
My mind is in a confused mode
Talking me to almost death
Do I stay with the one I'm with
Husband and father of five
Or do I risk being with someone else
Who makes me feel truly alive
I've never been good at decisions
Preferring to let one option run out
This way I never have to choose
Never have to have self doubt
Stuck in a quandry such as this
Is it possible to love two?
I wonder about it all the time
What exactly would you do?
Contestant one, stable, dependable
Been through thick and thin
Contestant two makes my heart race crazy
Knows the position I'm in
Both have ny heart clenched so tight
In a strangling grip
They both want my heart to keep
And now it's starting to rip
I lay here in the bed and fidget
I can't decide at all
Do I stay on stable ground
Or take the jump and fall
Guess I'll have to stay up late
And think about it more
I guess my mood is undecided
Tortured maybe, I'm just not sure

I like this here contemplations of love! my opinion yes you can love two people and by reading this I don't think it was said that the children would be left. I also that marraiges should not stay together just for the children and yes I am a child of divorced parents. We all have hard decisions in life and this is one of the harder ones. Thank you for your entry and good luck

As a child of divorce I say that you should get your head together and stay with your man. Think about your children, we do blame ourself when parents breakes up. Thinking it is our fault, even if its not.
Your lover, what does he have to offer? Nothing, I can assure you that the fire will die out sooner or later and you will regret leaving your husband and children.
And then you have your husband, he truly do love you, else he would never marry you. I dont know how long you've two been married but if you still love him and I am sure he loves you then you have a marriage that will last a life time. Dont you go and toss that away. that is something rare and beautiful.
Stay with your husband and children, it may seem boring compaired to your lover, but atleast it will last and it is safe.

Indecision is a pain in the rear. Seems like you, especially, know how that goes. Don't know if this is personal or just something for a contest, but either way best wishes, hun.
