venting emotions, true event happened today and feeling really blue about it


It's Therapy

I had to start writing

to stop this crying

triggered by the news

of an old friend dying.

We had all denied

his slow suicide

of self inflicted

addiction

until this morning

when he collapsed

on the floor

at age fifty-four.
