Poetry: Choices

by Robin Jessie Green

Created on: February 10, 2009

"This is about the choice you made, not mine."




That's what you said.




And it keeps playing over in my head.




Well, maybe those aren't the exact words.




But it's what I heard




And all I can say now is, "You're right."




I want to put the past passed us




I don't want to continue this fight.




It blocks the future




and makes the present miserable.




I wouldn't have done things that way




had I known it would leave what I say




unbelievable




and you mistrusting me.




It isn't how it used to be.




And yes, I know it begins from the choice I made.




But yet, it stems from those you declined to make.




You chose too.




Unfortunately, not what I'd hoped of you.




And it hurts.




And what's worse




is things remain unchanged




Because every day




You are choosing




for life




to stay




the same.
