Just a witness

Some things you can't prepare for.

You are simply shocked,

numb, breathing, still alive.

I was there when you left me

When the leaves changed.

I was there to witness a phantom

friend breaking the habit

by breaking the promise.

I was a witness to people passing away,

nothing more than a bystander.

But the spectator realized

that life is not just for

watching, observing, standing by-

it is for living.
