Why Poem by Frances Ayers
Why
Empty dark eyes
Staring into space
Feeling devoid of purpose,
Have you embraced the grave?
Are you ready to leave behind,
All that you love?
To give up your soul
For an unknown place
Without thought of the cost,
To those left behind.
Who will pick up the pieces
Of a shattered life?
Is one fateful moment worth
All the pain?
You have passed on to the living,
On one tragic day.
Enigmatic this, can it be that we are to blame for that last thread of life ebbing away? Yet this is such a well written poem that, somehow, I may have missed the intent.
