Last Time I Saw You
the last time i saw
you february of last year everything was new in your life
new job you
liked your baby on the way together we looked for an apartment
your life ahead of
you in all your life i have never seen you so happy
i didn't hear from
you at christmas or after
it is
understandable when things fell apart you were devastated
you were just too
tender for this world the news came late last night
you were found an
overdose a one way street
you won't be coming
back your mother has feared this all your life
at least now she
will no longer worry your gentle ways will be missed
RIP

Note: My nephew died last night, April 12. He was a gentle soul, starry starry night.

Oh, Annell, I am so so sorry.
I am so deeply sorry for your loss :(
My condolences. I hope your poetry has given you some little comfort. Losing those we love is never easy, no matter how much practice we have.
So sad... sometimes it's like a tender bloom that's killed by frost... and someone yet young. My condolences.
This is exactly how drastic the swings can be ... the immense, overwhelming joy ... and then the pit of despair that you absolutely cannot pull yourself out of. I'm so sorry for your loss, his loss, the family ... the world. So, so sorry.
This pulled my guts and forces me to witness my own trespasses and that is just on the merits of the poem's emotions ... the poem, your style I love to read cross-pollinated-ly ... up and down and diagonally skip a line and still I am fine because there was skill painting here and now ... another gentle soul ... part of the rain ... brightest blessings for the clouds in your sky right now ...
Hi annell. I was reading your poem, another wonderful journey. I am in awe how you write these. I cannot. When I realized what it was about and saw what had happened, I just wanted to reach out to you. You are a special soul to be able to write about it so soon. I'm touched, and thank you. It made me think of something in my family that I have not been able to express. I will be praying for your family.

So sorry for your loss... I lost a friend on the 8th and I can imagine how difficult a time this is for you.
