Unbreakable Bonds
Ann Marie 1989 (New Hampshire)
She died long ago
I cannot believe it now
How life could end so fast
Where did she go?
You left me behind
How could you do that?
You chose the drug
Instead of family.
The drug named morphine
The opioid epidemic….
Why did you leave me behind?
Eyes unblinking
staring into my own.
You left me behind….
You left an imprint
inside my heart
inside my soul
God knows
where I’ll go
Now I want
To be someone
Someone can look up to
I have that with my niece
A bond that cannot be shattered
Like mine with her…
Our time was brief
But you made an imprint
on my soul
and I will pay your kindness forward
until the end
of time
Thank you.
