Choices - A Poem by Chris Zachariou


situation seemed hopeless.
We were overwhelmed.

We duelled on it for days,
we argued over it for months.
What were the choices, we asked.

I wanted to climb every mountain
we came across, you wanted to walk
around instead.

Every time we came near a cliff,
I tried to jump. Each time you
held my hand and saved me.

You looked up and saw my head
up in the clouds; I looked down
and saw your feet firmly on the ground.

For a moment we panicked.
We wanted to run but we were in love
and stayed together.
