Would you speak to this person if you knew that.....?

Question

He was going do it this time

This would be the day

That he jumped from that bridge

And tossed his soul away

All because

Of feeling so alone

No mail in the box

No one's on the phone

Like a one man game of

Hide and NO seek

Yet he won't jump

If one soul will just speak

Smile and say hi to someone.

Answer 1

Well... maybe he would have an angel named Clarence to help him find his joy in life.  But frankly, *I* would not be knowing all that by merely looking at him on the bridge... he may, instead be....

Contemplating the lovely day

To see the ripples wash away

Any cares and woes that he may feel

Or any wounds that he may heal.

The birds dip and sip along the shore

The sun sparkles off the morning's h**e.

His lungs drink in the day's freshness

His eyes contemplate his blessedness.

Turning from the bridge's rail

His smile speaks of a tale

Of happiness and heartfelt bliss

Remembering his lover's kiss.

Have a blessed day.

Answer 6

I would. Infact I did once before not to long ago. And just because I said hi to her we became the best of friends and now she has no intentions of these types of things any more and she's my girlfriend.

By the way the poem was amazing.

Answer 7

I re writ it.

He was going do it this time

This would be the day

That he jumped from that bridge

And tossed his soul away

Paddy worked it all out

The distance from the bridge

Down to the river bottom

To the nearest inch.

He carefully selected

The rope from his supply.

Elastic stretch forgotten

Paddy sentenced him to die.

From parapet did he plummet

down to the river bed

Bungee elastic followed

He landed on his head

Oh Fook ole Paddy shouted.

I forgot the stretch again

still he must have died outright

rather than in pain.

The Moral of the story

if you should Bungee jump

make sure you test the kit first

Dont trust some Irish  chump

Answer 8

Don't do it, I promise to send you more E Mails.

Answer 9

Yep I embrace the miserable because we are all in the same sinking boat and i liked how you had it reach out to someone without ultimately taking his life at the end i have poems about suicide and it is something I do not think anyone should partake in it's one catergory once you fall in you cannot change what is done RIP Juan

Answer 10

yes I would try to

Answer 11

Great Message in the poem! We don't realise the truth that a smile and hi we say to someone could make such a great difference in their life. Solitude is such a horrible thing tempting and driving people to suicide. A voice, a smile is so comforting. I know it.

Answer 12

very powerful message, and words worth listening too

Answer 13

you make a good point! thanks that made my day!
