As I jumped for her: a pantoum

Her sweetest smile she gave me.

Relationship status?

Poor dumb and confused,

Maybe someday, a little more.

Relationship status?

Wishing for more.

Maybe someday...a little more?

Possessed By your love, or lack thereof.

Wishing for more

I sought after you.

Possessed by your love, or lack thereof

I'd jumped off the cliff.

I sought after you

Who was looking on down

I'd jumped from the cliffs,

And you were never to come down

Who Was looking down?

Just you,

And you were never to come down.

I was falling, soon to be dead.

Just you?

That's what I thought, while

I was falling, soon to be dead,

Why you?

That's what I thought while

Wanting your love.

Why you?

I asked myself.

Wanting your love,

I finally gave up.

I asked myself;

Why would she want me?

I finally gave up.

That's a lie to myself,

Why would she want me?

A mystery she wouldn't solve.

That's a lie to myself;

I cannot look away.

A mystery she wouldn't solve.

Why? Why me? And why him?

I cannot look away.

Is she asking, I wondered;

Why? Why me? And why him?

While contemplating my death.

Is she asking? I wondered

Poor, dumb and confused,

While contemplating my death,

Her sweetest smile, she gave, to me.
