This Anniversary

Anniversaries are meant to be happy times

Times of reflection on perfect memories

But this one isn't, because

This anniversary is one of an overdose

 

This anniversary has no cards

There is no cake or presents

Just regret and sadness, because

This anniversary is one of an overdose

 

1 year today to the minute as I write

The worst memory of it all flashes back

my focus goes in a flash, because

This anniversary is one of an overdose

 

I can smile at my recovery

but cry with my memories

This is the anniversary that no one wants because

This anniversary is one of an overdose
