Once you experience pain
Intense, extreme
Life altering loss
The pain of grief
...
I realize now
that this is not
going to be easy
...
I feel it now
- the pull of familiarity –
my feet pulling
me down
...
I’ve noticed that now
- after 2 years
It’s not so intense
...
Losing a friend
To dope
Is like watching
A tar hole
...
Now that I know grief
Nothing will ever
Be the same.
This I know
...
For a while
All I wanted to do
Was lose myself.
I just wanted some way
