This is the prologue to my story, Crossroads. I wrote the poem myself (in about 5 minutes) so it's not particularly good, but it does sum up the storyline. The first chapter will be a summary of his life from then on, until the actual story begins
Coming to a crossroads, he paused
Not sure why, he thought
Two different paths, he saw
Yet surely both the same, he thought
He took the left hand path
He never looked back
His life was changed
He never knew, what could have been
Another world, another time
Fate holds her breath
And wonders
Which of the two, this time?
He took the right hand path
He learnt to care
His heart was changed
He realised what could have been
And feared it.
Yet at the time, he did not know
Did not know which would lead where
If he had, which would he have chosen?
Why, the left hand one, of course.
