The Fall

He screams
I reach
He yells
I strain

To catch his fall
But why does he want to hit the ground?

He screams
I get pushed away
He yells
I strain against shackles

To watch his fall
But why doesn't he want me to catch him?

He screams
I stay.
He yells
I stay.

I watch him fall
And hit the ground with an ominous thud

He's still
I'm still
He coughs
I reach forward in my chains

"LET ME HELP YOU PLEASE"

But,
He does not want it.
And there's nothing I can do.
