Unbreakable Bonds
She died long ago
I cannot believe it now
How life could end so fast
Where did she go?
You left me behind
How could you do that?
You chose the drug
Instead of family.
The drug named morphine
The opioid epidemic….
Why did you leave me behind?
Eyes unblinking
staring into my own.
You left me behind….
You left an imprint
inside my heart
inside my soul
God knows
where I’ll go
Now I want
To be someone
Someone can look up to
I have that with my niece
A bond that cannot be shattered
Like mine with her…
Our time was brief
But you made an imprint
on my soul
and I will pay your kindness forward
until the end
of time
Thank you.

Hello, my name is Anne-Marie. Welcome to my profile. I like to think of myself as a writer and advocate for mental health and invisible illnesses. Part of me struggles with my faith on a daily basis because of my sexual orientation. So a lot of my poetry is about coping with that and my health on a day-to-day basis. I don't define myself with my sexual orientation or my health struggles but they are a part of me; there's no denying that. I love to write dark science fiction about dystopic futuristic landscapes. I like to write strong female leads with a lot of emotion and feeling to them. I truly live, breathe, and enjoy writing. Thank you for reading this
