A HEARTFELT LOSS

A Butterfly flies
A tear falls from our eyes
As their soul drifts into the sky
never did we realize
the one we had and
the one we lost
all cause of drugs.
Their life was tossed
into a box
deep in the ground
no more laughter
not a sound.
To wake in the morning
with a tear in our eyes
with an unanswered question
why did they die?
Left in our memory
to dream of at night
no comfort in front of us
nothing in sight.
I wake with a hangover
thunder in my head
it’s from the tears I cry
as I lie here in bed.
They’re young and they’re old
but left her way to soon
I search for their faces
in the light of the moon.
Alone at night
we sit and we pray
always wondering
when will it be our day.
