Poem #4: Self Destruct

It's the possibilities
And the wondering...
Sweet intoxicating rushes
 Laced with poison.
 Though it may kill me,
This thought lives.
 If I let you in,
If my thoughts betray,
All is lost.
All is dust.
 Immortalized in heart
Confronting what if.
Dreaming things I dare not,
No, I dare not.
Why have you come back
When I so carefully hid you away?
 In the darkest corner of my mind
There you lie captive,
Chained.
 Safely domesticated.
 Keys to such chains are heavy.
 Keys to such chains
Should be lost,
Forgotten.
 But even now, I have but one
 Held in my trembling hand
 I kneel and wonder...
 If I step forward,
What would I do?
 Could I do it...
Would I set you free...?
