But you never came…
We know you are there
You’ve been there all along
Lost your way
Despite the shining lights
Ever so consumed
Ever so distracted
Help was so near
Never to break through the barrier
Living on the precipice
So close to the fall
Numbed by naivety
One misstep away
Tiptoeing along the edge
Fearless of the impending fall
Blinded by your realities
One misstep away
We were waiting for you
But you never came
Lost forever
Unable to find your way
Your grief is now ours
We knew you were there
We thought you would return
Now lost forever
Death from addiction is tragic on so many levels. Especially when family and close friends stand with hands outreached, offering help.
