The Path

A poem about 2 people who must choose their path in life.

The Path

 

We've had it easy,

Our entire lives,

But now comes a roadblock,

Interrupting our street,

Which had no curves, or turns,

Until now.

 

On the first path,

The road is paved,

And our dreams will come true,

But we will never see each other again,

Or find true love.

Ever.

 

On the second path,

The road is dirt,

And we will stay together,

But our dreams will be shattered,

And we will be poor, and may die.

Together.

 

I just want you to know,

That no matter the path you choose,

I will follow you.

I don't care what happens to me,

I don't care about the consequences,

I just want you to know that I'll always love you.

 

We sit on the stop sign,

Our eyes wide,

Wondering what each other will choose,

When you get up,

And look me in the eyes,

And I know.

 

We grab each other's hand,

And run along the dirt path,

And die,

In each other's arms,

Our minds clear,

And holding no regrets.

I enjoyed this very much! If we gain all the world, but it's a cold drab artless loveless world, then we've gained nothing. Lovelorn people are lost regardless of how much wealth they have. This is why the movie "Citizen Kane" was one of the greatest movies of all time. It's better to take the "Rosebud" path.

I don't think I've seen Citizen Kane before. I'm gonna have to watch that sometime!;)

[Aethereal]

Yes, then watching Citizen Kane for the first time should be quite an adventure for you. It was rated as one of the best motion pictures of the 20th Century. It caused a scandal too. Rosebud?

I'm gonna see if I can find it on Netflix!
