Cathrine Legabe Poet Lyric

I Don'T Understand

I sit here because i have questions
Questions as to why the wall fell without cause
As to why I was blind to see the cracks
As to why it happened so quickly
As to why I couldn't tell that the grass was no longer green
As to why I couldn't save it
As to why I couldn't pick up the pieces
As to why I walked away that fast

As to why YOU broke without the sign
As to why YOU didn't care
Did YOU know all along
Did YOU see the cracks already
Did YOU prepare well for the outcome
Did YOU know that it was long done even before the pause

Because i failed to see it all
I failed o see the cracks
I  failed to see the outcome
I failed...

Caren Krutsinger August 1, 2018 at 9:08 AM It is shocking when this happens to us, as our feelings usually warn us before a fall. Nicely penned, Cathrine. Cathrine Legabe August 8, 2018 at 11:28 AM we fail to see the faults because of love

Jesse Rowe August 1, 2018 at 7:29 AM A beautifully, sad poem. If I may respond in kind... Sometimes the why's not understood. | And answers ever elude our mind. | Sometimes we lose what once was good. | So we might something better find. Cathrine Legabe August 8, 2018 at 11:28 AM true that, but the why's are always more painful thank you very much
