letter to the dead

yellowbird

oh, girl
when i first met you
over twenty years ago
you were strong and wild
a bit too wild
and when we met again
through our own son's friendship
i thought you had finally settled in
how you loved him
the apple of your eye
finally met your match
your son
but when he was only seven years old
he watched you slowly drift away
bringing up old habits
and gaining a few more
waisting away to nothing
right before our eyes
so sad
i was afraid and so i dropped out
my son used to cry for his old friend
but they had to be apart
"his mother is sick" i'd say
you just can't see him for awhile
finally he stopped asking
and then they came and to your baby away
which was the right thing to do
even you would agree, now
that was it for you
now you are gone
found on the floor alone, listless, dead
and he has no mother to visit anymore
sometimes even love cannot save you from addiction
i'm sorry i couldn't help
please forgive me
