Too Many Questions

April 2016

That man who
jumped– who was he?
 
A lover or a friend?
 
A brother or a husband?
 
Why did his eyes
seem so empty?
 
How could I feel
the pain radiating
out of him?
 
Why didn’t I
do anything?
 
What was his
reasoning for
ending his life?
 
Why did he
reach his hand
out to me?
 
Was I supposed
to save him?
 
Did he see
a connection
in me?
 
How come I
dropped
everything,
and fell
to my knees?
 
Why did he
smile when
he stepped off?
 
How come no
one screamed?
 
How did I
end up here
a year later?
 
Why am I
looing at the
waves like
they’re the
only thing left?
 
What happened
to the life
I lead?
 
Why did I
accept this
fate when I
saw a smiling
face fall?
 
What is the
connection
between the
future and
the past?
 
Why do I
hear the
voices of
the people
who couldn’t
last?
 
How did
the pain
and sorrow
and thoughts
leave when
I reached out?
 
Why do I
feel peace
as I fall?
