Elucidating Questions

Chester I miss you.

I hear the words again but not like before

Some of them stick and I look to you for the answer

Was this a sign someone was supposed to see?

What I wouldn’t give to have you back here

Ashley I miss you too

Gone so young, you didn’t make it as far as I have

And it’s unfair

Surely the world would do better with you both and without me

Should I wish to trade places?

If I could bring you back here

But then I think

Here isn’t such a good place

You both didn’t want to be here so much you found a way to disappear

I wish I could fix it for you

So that men with feelings didn’t feel the need to keep it inside until they explode or implode

So that those of us that help the helpless didn’t feel helpless themselves

I’m sorry

I’m sorry I’m so small I tried so hard to be big enough to make a difference but I’m no one

If I could only be someone

I would make a world where both of you fit in
