Choices CHOICES Crystals, Drifting down, Their whiteness Blanketing my heart. Why did he choose To go with her, Leaving me behind To face a shattered life? Why did he choose To forget about Dief Recovering from her bullet? Why did he choose To forget about Ma And the loss of her house That I put up for his bail? Why did he choose To forget about me And the prison term I faced Because of her? I shiver in the cold And look up at the window Of his hospital room. No light spills out. It's as dark as the blight On our two souls, And still the snow is falling. Why did he choose Victoria Over me? "Gilda Lily" (7/17/96) Return to the Due South Fiction Archive
