The Gavel’s Decision

“GUILTY!” States the Judge!

“Of what? ” I ask?

He replies, “It’s an extensive list!”

“Please tell me!”, I plead.

“Remember, YOU asked”,the Judge retorts and continues .

“On this day, let it be known that:”

“You love him too much.”

“You accepted unacceptable terms.”

“You walked into a relationship with the odds against you.”

“A couple needs the freedom, to be there for each other.”

“Equality in spending quality time, at your house, or his house. You DID NOT have that.”

“Without the above, you lose a precious gift. The opportunity to truly show your love, be there and support each other through all kinds of things, on an even playing field.”

“Due to yours being one sided, your house open, his being off limits, your giving nature was stifled.”

“But I thought it would be only for a short time and all would work out!”, I intervened.

“Even true love has it’s limits, young lady.” “Over 2 years of being reigned in, will take it’s toll”, Said the Judge

“So what now?”, I asked

“Look at this picture, what do you see?”, he asked

“A beautiful reflection in the slow moving water of a blue sky, white clouds, and the trees along the shore” said I

“Exactly!”, The Judge nodded in agreement.

“You are those trees, standing tall, reaching for the sun, stuck in one place, as the river continues on”, replied the Judge.

“Now look at this picture and tell me what you see”

” A vibrant colored sky, the sun’s rays free to spread their light across the sky, the horizon.” Said I

The Judge asked, ” Which one represents you?”

I started to cry, my heart felt heavy, as though someone had placed a ton of bricks on my chest.

Which one did I choose?
