Your Decision

Life by its' own nature
Can bring a myriad of disasters
Unpredictable, unfathomable, devastating
Whispers of confusion in dark corners
Murmurs of disbelief in the hallways
The silence of a crowded room
A cancer, an accident, a mere mishap
All within the realm of possibility

But you, my friend, my lover 
Did that which is not fathomable
Of all of the tragedies that could have befallen you
Never would I have imagined you would end your life
You ended your life after a pointless fight
Leaving me forever with the consequences of my own humanity
Nature herself was floored that day
For of all her unending realities
Of all her unreal finales
Your decision was not one of a natural life
