Split Your Heart, Not Your Tongue

I stare at the long dark hallway Hoping a light will show up I swallow hard Clench my fists And feel the sweat form on my face One step after another I slowly go For a second I close my eyes tightly  Hoping this is the right choice I try to be mindful of my surroundings  But there's nothing to see I'm all alone With goosebumps on my skin I'm more than halfway there But I want to turn around What's waiting for me? I see a light just at the end I stop before I step into the brightness What if it's not there? Take a deep breath...exhale I walk into the light A smile spreads across my face Love was waiting for me all along
