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...

It is shocking when this happens to us, as our feelings usually warn us before a fall. Nicely penned, Cathrine.

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.
