Haiku for Alex
It's November 1st
Another day grief comes back
You should still be here
I still write for you
You understood that I had
To write my feelings
Your dad wrote that you
Struggled with every day life
I dont think that's true
I think you struggled
With the big ones, the ones that
Tear you inside out
You were always there
And somehow always awake
When I needed you
I will always wish
you sought out love & support
As much as you gave
