when love is all i can think of in my religion class

I found this poem if it can be called as such when i re-opened my folder containing incomplete stories i made. It was written 3 years ago as I was sitting half-listening to my religion teacher. I had to edit it again because it sounded absurd and here the less absurd version. I didn't know whatelse to put in here for now so just to fill in the emptiness I posted this here. lol.

BLINDNESS
by chaste08

There was a man who never looked and never stopped.

One day, I fell off the bridge while following the man from afar

I yelled, and he stopped. He stopped from walking.

I cried, and he paused. He again stopped from walking.

The water of the river embraced my body,

And the water swallowed me.
And oblivion dawned upon me.

When I opened my eyes, he was there

Sitting  beside me, at an arms length.
Enough to feel he was there but not enough to be felt.

I asked him if he was the one who helped me out from the river:

“No, I don’t know you miss,

I didn’t know either

That there is someone around.”

And he is the blind man who never looks and never stops.
