Don't you just love open-ended stories? You get to pick your own ending It could be good, a heart-filled finale Or the most tragic showdown I myself try my hand at writing But I always know how the story ends It's the middle I can't figure out I know the start and finish But the journey eludes me It's like I fall asleep and wake at the last scene My mind works in mysterious ways So how does this one end, huh? Is it happy or sad? Impossible to say For the characters have not yet been chosen And it is they who decide how the story ends
