You do not discriminate. You are neither loving or kind. To some you bring so much relief and to others you bring so much pain. You are looked to as a solution, but are often a means to a permanent end. You are the reason I will never see him again. Because of you the world has lost such an amazing human being. Because of you he never saw his little brother graduate from high school or help him move into college. Because of you he will never see him get married or meet his nieces or nephews. Because of you, we his family and friends fight everyday to keep his memory alive, and continue to leave his mark on the world because he no longer can.
Because of you my favorite shirt to wear says “in memory of” not because I actually like it, but because I can see his face for one more time. And every time I wear it I get a glimpse of hope someone might ask me what happened, and I can explain how you took him from us, and that they should never go near you.
But you don’t care because every day you continue to take more and more lives just like his. So let me ask you, when will it stop? When is enough enough? I always thought before you took him, that you only took the “bad people”, but now I see that you don’t care who you effect, and that those people where never bad, you just changed them into something they didn’t want to be.
It’s easy to blame you even though we both know you are not the only one at fault and sometimes that’s what makes it worse. You make people blame themselves for their loved ones turning to you. You make people think that they could have saved the people that you claim, but the truth is they couldn’t have. You are a nasty thing that cannot be defeated, no amount of love can save the lives you cross paths with and destroy.
My only hope is one day we stop you from destroying more lives, and we destroy you.
