Choose to Lose

Choose to Lose

Teetering on a knife's edge

Threatening to fall

Words are all we need

To send us sprawling

To either side

What will you say?

My words hide behind a lock of fear;

Fear of heights and fear of tumbling

Fear of choosing

Fear of losing

We're here now

There's no going back

Someone has to speak

I'm frightened it will come to me

But God forbid its left for me to seal it

We've gone too far

The choice is the only way

But I'm afraid

For I see loss on either side

So what do we choose to lose?
