Anniversaries

What is that there
I haven't felt it for a while
Typically pay it no mind
But it catches me by surprise
And I can't name it
But I can't seem to breathe
Hard to say what I need
Do anything but leave
Sometimes it's one to celebrate
Sometimes it's a different kind of day

I've sat in a sanctuary
Stood at the cemetery
Heard words I wish were never said
I'm not married but I've carried
Heaviness inside tried every remedy
We all have anniversaries

Got the phone call
It had been fentanyl
The results are in
Start giving me payment plans and medicines
No one else
I admitted myself
To an antiseptic sterile place
Somehow still a sacred space
Only that much closer to death
There for the final breaths

I've sat in a sanctuary
Stood at the cemetery
Heard words I wish were never said
I'm not married but I've carried
Heaviness inside tried every remedy
We all have anniversaries
