How much I envy you both
For taking that leap
Into the unknown
With so much certainty
The bravery of youth
Presumably believing you would be
Together forever and ever. Amen.
Did you make passionate love
On the side of the track
Knowing you were never
Coming back?
A one way ticket in your brain
Destination unknown
As you hit the train.
Your reasons were only known to you
Doing what you had to do.
For the rest of eternity both entwined
Whatever afterlife you may find
If it even exists...heaven or hell
From our time on earth no way to tell.
If you find something I hope it's bliss
Worthwhile enough to give your future a miss.
Dulwich Poet 19th June 2013
( On Monday evening two teenagers, an 18 year old boy & 15 year old girl, jumped in front of a passing train, near to where they lived in Borehamwood, in Hertfordshire; which is just outside London.)
