Dead Knowledge,
Sometimes knowing everything really hurts. It's those things that you would rather not know that ruin the whole "I know everything, ha ha."
One of the things I wish didn't know the answer too is 'why'.
Why you did it.
Why you pushed yourself so hard.
Why you were fed up with it.
Why you felt cornered.
Why you jumped.
I knew the answer to every one of those questions. But I wish that I hadn't. I wish that instead of you telling me and making me keep it a secret, you told someone else. Someone who could have helped you.
But no, you told me, and I kept quiet. That day, when you jumped, people gathered to see it. They lined the streets, and your parents were among them. Your mother was crying her eyes out, and policemen were looking for someone close to you.
Of course, I stayed out of the spotlight.
And I regret it now.
And forever will.
When you jumped, everyone held their breath. People screamed all the way down, as if they did it in the place of you.
When you landed, there was silence.
