Early in January of this year a co-worker died suddenly. It was quite a surprise to me. We had a memorial service at work and I was asked to write a poem. Why did this happen? Why him? He was only 50 something. Here are my thoughts and feelings after I heard about his death.

I LOST MY BOYFRIEND A YEAR AGO DECEMBER. HE WAS 31YRS. OLD AND HE DIED WHILE I WAS ON THE COUCH BECAUSE HE WAS SNOREING SO LOUDLY. THIS POEM REALLY HELPED ME BECAUSE I HAVE FELT GUILT AND A LITTLE OF EVERYTHING. I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR A POEM THAT TOUCHED MY HEART AND THIS ONE HAS. HE DIED FROM MEDICATION REACTIONS, IT WAS VERY UNEXPECTED BECAUSE HE WAS IN GREAT HEALTH. THANK YOU FOR YOUR WORDS AND I WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT THEY ARE APPRECIATED.
