Your Departure

You walked that road,
You found where it lead,
A thousand times forebode,
And nothing to connect.

Your potential immense,
Your insignificance illusive,
You couldn't break life's fence,
And you became conclusive.

You thought many things,
Your afflictions were too great,
You gave up running,
And confronted your fate.

There we found you,
Hanging from space,
Happiness too few,
And darkness took place.

Here I now stand,
What do I see?
Contentment unmanned,
And nothing but dissonancy.

When I saw your fall,
We wished with litany,
Why wasn't this all,
A frightening childhood reverie.
