For Nicole, Rita and too many to mention…..

The answers you sought
Linger in the questions
You left behind
The light you couldn’t find
Peaks through the darkness
In the hearts broken by your choice
The emptiness you escaped
Belongs now to those
Who just can’t seem to be free
That scar left on your soul
Deepens in those left behind
Moss grows thicker on the stone
And that choice you made
Like a ripple
Touches more than you knew
Your solution
Created more anguish
For those who were never given
A choice like that to make
