Why is it when someone tells you something <br />it keeps repeating itself over in your mind? <br />It is a question I have no answer for, <br />but it does it all the time with me. <br />A very dear friend told me something <br />that happened in their earlier years <br />and ever since then it keeps <br />repeating itself over in my mind. <br />I keep wishing I had been there at that time <br />to help them through their ordeal, <br />but I wasn’t and I didn’t even know them then. <br />Therefore, why is it now <br />what happened to them <br />bothering me so much now? <br />Could it be I recognise something similar <br />that happened within my family <br />and I was unable to help <br />all the torment that they went through? <br />Why is it that it bothers me <br />when I know happiness they found. <br />The question bothers me for an answer <br />and that answer I cannot find. <br />If someone knows the answer, <br />could they please tell me <br />and put me out of my misery, <br />letting my poor heart rest for a time. <br /> <br /> <br />30 October 2009<br /><br />David Harris<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/why-is-it-19/
