The Pressure of Love Zeinab Attia
The Pressure of Love
Your eyes are (glass)y
Like a mouth ajar (crack)ling
Spits tears through its (open)ing
And you now (under)stand
That this thing of (great)ness
Is love being light(weight)
‘The Pressure of Love’ was a winning poem in the 2019 Newcastle Young People’s Poetry Competition.
