The fallen, the gone.
He fell, he’s gone.
He fell on purpose and he died.
He didn’t fall, he jumped and he did it because of me.
I tried to stop him, but he couldn’t take it. He left me.
We broke up the fortnight before; he grew steadily worse and worse
before throwing himself off the bridge.
My fault.
Entirely my fault.
He’s fallen. He’s gone.
The fallen, the gone.
