It still hurts, I miss you.

In memory of my cousin Greg, the poem below is all I will be posting today. He died seven years ago today of an accidental overdose, he was 21. Growing up, my cousins Greg, Andrew and Matt were my best friends, they were always there and we grew up together.

I wrote this a few months after he died.

You left without a word
Silent in the night
No one heard your screams
And now its ringing through my mind
Your pain is finally put to rest
And your body with your soul
The angels came quickly from above
They carried you from that cold dark night
As silently we cry
Your pain we did not know
Your unhappiness we could not conceive
Our love will never vanquish
Our dreams will never die
You took all of your potential
And then you had to die
Every day we pray for you
Our hearts you will never leave
Our tears will never diminish
Our love for you will never die
Even if you did
