Another Angel Taken

Our lives shook the day we heard. The scars left in your wake. Forever in our hearts remain The love they'll never take. It's nothing you were proud of Stripping layers from your life. And the pain it caused so many. Hurting deeper than a knife. It wasn't your intention To have shattered those you Love. And we're left to pick the pieces As you look down from above. It's time to share this story So perhaps it may assist. In preventing yet another To be added to that list. The sound of your laughter Masking pain so deep within. The carnage that was left behind From this drug called heroin. Your smile was so infectious Forever engraved upon my soul. No blame be set upon you May your spirit become whole. In God's light may you find comfort And your spirit be set free. No more pain stand in your shadow May the world wake up and see. For this affects so many And it shows us no regard. So please take away the stigma Of this matter oh so hard. We all must band together In loving empathy. And heal this world around us In restoring harmony.
