the path not taken
inspired by frost, adjusted to portray difficult love and a decision.
forces of opposing energy
being in a constant battle with them
maybe i crave conflict because its the only time passion has shone
and love lain in the breaths between the loud words
perhaps they were never on the same page
her love was in building; aspirations
his, in fleeting moments
a life in extremes
one or the other
choose wisely
or don't and live in wonder of a single path not taken
Inspired by Robert Frost's famous poem, this piece explores the complexity of love that exists in conflict. Sometimes we find ourselves drawn to turbulent relationships because the intensity feels like passion. The poem examines two different approaches to love—one focused on building and future, the other on living in the moment—and the impossible choice between them. The final lines echo Frost's sentiment about roads not taken, but here it's about the relationships we don't pursue and the wonder of what might have been.
