Balloon Release – International Opioid Awareness Day
Sometimes the silence is too much
Settling over me like a shroud
Heavy and dark and oppressive
A loneliness that takes hold of my heart
Unspeakable loss
Unspeakable grief
Unspeakable sorrow
What might have been
What could have been
If only…
And yet…
There still remains
Your bright light shining in my heart
Treasured memories and moments shared
Our love, unfettered and unbound
Today we’re joined together in our pain
As we lift our voices heavenward
With one collective cry
Carried on these winds of hope
We rally here to fight for change
For you, always for you
