Dust settles silent
By Iwas
She cried that day.
Most of it I believe.
(I could
see the sadness in her drug fueled gaze)
Left over powder clumped
heavy on her face.
(I didn't tell her)
She asks for a hug.
Smiling I oblige.
Telling her it will work out fine.
(I lied)
Hell Broke lose later that day.
So pretty so sweet.
(I could
sense her pain)
To much anger, to much strain.
(I watched her
leave)
She lived no more that starless night.
The dust settles
silent in the moonlight.
(Eternally I wonder If I could have saved
her short short life)
To Steph
R.I.P.
(I'm sorry)

I can imagine i'd feel the same. Yet, it was her choice to make. Whatever is believed about the Next~Of~Things, the pain is gone. She has won, she truly has. So much of this morning has been this theme. Carry not the guilt, this world hurt, now it doesn't hurt anymore. Thanks for speaking it out.

This had a serious collision at the end. I really enjoy poetry that makes me feel something. However the hurt and pain in this make one happy to be alive and breathing. I am also sorry for your loss.
