Best Poems Written by Kirk Finney

To Dave and Roz

To David and Roz

Since you left I think of you and often find a tear.
Never returning home, never coming back here.
I want to yell at you and tell you that you’re dumb!
But all I can do is get a feeling that makes me numb.

Why did you have to take those pills?  Why did you have to die?
Now you know that prescriptions kills, watch as we all cry.
Why did you think of only yourself? And leave us all behind?
To your children I have to tell, what made their daddy die.

Less than a year has passed and I still feel regret.
Regret for not knowing more and letting everything set.
Fifty weeks later our sister does the same.
Is it doctors? Or your usage that is to blame?

Why did you have to take those pills?  Why did you have to die?
Now you know that prescriptions kills, watch as we all cry.
Why did you think of only yourself? And leave us all behind?
To your children I have to tell, what made their mommy die.

Why did you leave us this way? Was it worth the ultimate cost?
Watching as your children play and I think that all is not lost.
At least you left pieces of you here, at least they can still grin.
I miss you both and I shed my tear, knowing that the drugs win.
