We Were Waiting For You

But you never came…

(Photo by Author, © Todd B Harrington)

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.
