Not much to lose?

by Matthias L. - Capricorn

It doesn't touch 
It doesn't sting
So I think I can pretend
And close my eyes
But Fate and all her children
Keep talking in my head

Threatened with a choice
By an unfamiliar voice
"You may take it all
 And take away the same"
Or should I give it all away
The cub with yet unopened eyes
The unborn child without a name
Before they fill the past
With memories of dreams 
That far from close 
Would break my heart

Should I let them go 
Before they'll get that near again
The fairy trapped inside
A violent mind
Even if not consciously
Is released as a reply
To a wordless wish

And so the smile perceived
Does reflect no cruel intentions
An image of sweet melancholy
Aware of more than one'd expect

What if it was not for you
But maybe for someone I'd know
And what if it just wasn't me 
But a certain stranger I don't know
Weighing up his options
To find the correct answers 
When confronted with a choice

It is nothing really
I'm just about to hand my tickets
For the train to change a life
To one who's reached the final station
And cannot pay the fare 

Cause if I'd leave you standing
Without the slightest notion
I know I would come back to me
To take it all away
Until I'd have the same

Conscience
Mind
Intelligence
Senseless talking
Meriments

Won't help me find 
The answers

Reason for writing:

    An important decision which I may have to take... Sorry, but I cannot tell you more than this, I'll have to sort it out on my own...
