Untitled

There are times these days,
That the beauty escapes me,
The rainbow is engulfed in gray,
The sadness is all I see.

The dark side of it all,
Not sny silver lining.
Tears begin to fall,
Aching heart, sobbing, whining.

Time is supposed to heal it all,
Yet my wound feels fresh.
I cannot ever recall,
Feeling such pain to my flesh.

There is an emptiness in my heart,
One that shall never heal,
From lives torn apart,
By a pill head at the wheel.

My best friend, my sister too,
My family, my hope you were.
Nickie, I still miss you,
Your heart so pure.
