Angel of Death
I remember that day so crystal clear
Doctors telling me what I did not want to hear
Despite their best efforts and how hard they tried
How sorry they were my sweet daughter had died
A piece of my heart was suddenly gone
Tell me how am i supposed to move on
Sitting there crying I stared at your face
Remembering your birth and our first embrace
My hopes and dreams died that day
the angel of death took you away
and in that moment my heart was torn
Leaving me to forever mourn
The day that your addiction won
And took you away from me and your son.

Leaving me to forever mourn
The day that your addiction won
And took you away from me and your son.
Author's Note
Three years ago I lost my daughter to an overdose of heroin & fentanyl. It's a grief no mother should know.

Dear T,
Your write is so raw and painful. I am very sorry for your loss. I can’t imagine the daily pain you experience. This piece is amazing in its honesty and ode to a love lost in addiction. You have described an awful situation about a difficult subject extremely poignantly and I wish you every bit of peace possible.

i wasn't gonna read this because i saw a snippet of it while i was perusing the
New Members section but felt compelled to despite knowing i'd be crying. . .
i lost a Daughter in the 1970's
and today i still have hard and soft cries over her passing.
No parent should outlive their child
i feel Your loss. i lost a younger Brother because of a drug addiction.
Thank You for sharing Your pain (ache) with us.
Reading Resonating and (w)Riting always helps and heals

Your words are raw and honest. My heart breaks for you. I can't imagine your pain. Keep writing it will help you process and find some sort of healing. You will always hurt but maybe someday you will have good days.
