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...

Jesse Rowe Date: 8/1/2018 7:29:00 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.
