I Should Have Kept Your Habits Fed…

“I don’t buy smokes!” (that made sense in my head,
But what did it matter? Now you’re dead.)
We thought we were right, as you lay in that bed–
Should have listened when you said
You needed somethin. Legal meds….
But we were stupid! By love, misled!
I should have kept your habits fed,
Relaxed your mind, and eased my dread,
Now all that’s left are tears to shed,
As we push onwards in your stead…
