Triolet 🍀70- For Evan

#triolet #grief

In my heart, you are forever twenty-two.
You died of a  toxic heroin overdose.
I tried so hard to help you, to save you.
In my heart, you are forever twenty-two.
But nothing I tried would ever do,
Nothing you tried, depressed, morose
In my heart, you are forever twenty-two
You died of a toxic heroin overdose.

You could have done so much with life,
Married, had children, been an artist,
A poet, a writer, exorcised all that strife,
You could have done so much with life.
Your death cut me like a knife.
I reached out to poetry as my therapist.
You could have done so much with life,
Married, had children, been an artist.
