2 poems dedicated to 3 very important people

Years ago today, I lost 3 very important people in my life. People who were like my family. A mother and two brothers. I have written a few poems about these wonderful people, and I debated which one I should post. I ended up choosing two. I'd like to dedicate these two poems to Joy, Jesse, and Justin. May you rest in peace ❤️‍🩹

The first poem is titled "I think of you."

The second poem is titled "Only 6"

It is perfect and brought me to tears for I lost my boyfriend a few months ago. Everyday is a struggle and I try so hard. I have never known grief or depression the way I do now. He was my best friend, my everything. How to cope?
