Question:

Another poem i've written.... last one for tonight... feel free to interpret?

Ice on fire
Frozen flames
My eyes snapped open
Suddenly awake
Standing in the middle of a road
Not sure when I got here
But it??s surrounded by smoking snow
Still in a daze
I take a few steps further into the haze
Map in hand a flashlight too
It points behind me-all mapped out
So I turn and head southbound
And hit an invisible wall
I see it so clearly, all the paths lit
Ahead is all darkness and the map stops here
So many people back in the light
I reach for them, run to them
But that invisible wall knocks me down
Some of them see me, some of them don??t
One of them sees all the way through
Another one tries but I use the shadows to hide
No feelings left out in the open to be seen
A hand grabs mine
Familiar, warm, a ring on the finger
I look into his eyes and the light reaches us
And I remember exactly where I am
Still shocked that I??m here
Don??t?? remember walking or turning or knowing the way
So I just hold this hand and blindly step further and further
I turn around and can see where I??ve been
Its suddenly clear as day
And my map, it has grown, and it shows my last steps
Its so unfair!
That I can??t see ahead
Only behind
I can only see what I missed out on
And I can see what I have
I can??t see where I??m headed
Or what I passed up
I see where those passed paths run
And what lines them
But I can??t see myself walking down them
Would I have fallen through the trap doors?
Or risen into the sky?
Why can??t I stop wondering
Imagining
Just step ahead
I hate darkness
I??ve chosen my path, and more lie ahead
Some of them will connect somewhere
Down the line with the paths that I passed
More forks will come up
Decisions will be made
I??ve decided my path
On this path I will stay


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

Seems like your unsure of your life. Of the people that are in you life.
I would guess this is about a love not chosen. That you decided on another love instead.
Your wondering if you've chosen the path that will truly be the happiest for you.
You re poetry is very deep and painful. It makes me think about things I've gone through.
