Still

...

Top Story - August 2024

He still has the ring and my last name

A pinch compared to losing you

Flown up beyond, angel gained

Give me back my sister

Pain grows, I miss her

Fed a big fear

Drugs took you

Love you

Still

About the Creator

Steven Rice

Growing up I had many visions of what I wanted to be when I grew up. At times I was relentless on becoming a Power Ranger or a writer. After thirty years, the path that seems most obtainable is becoming a writer.
