making a decision

some decisions are made
in anger,
when the coals are hot,
while others are rational,
cold
and calculated.
things measured out,
the balance sheet
the good, the bad drawn
onto paper.
some decisions are
made in the throes
of emotional
turmoil,
grief or heartbreak.
to stay or go.
to fight for love, or let
it fade
without hardly a thought.
just reacting
to what's
going down.
it's hard to tell which way
is best.
in the end
they all seem right
in the moment, where
there is little regret,
or little doubt.
