a/n Another freeverse! :) Please review if you like it.
He's always been the one alone
In the crowd
The forlorn guy standing at the b/a/c/k
all by himself
whilst l.i.f.e goes on without him
and all because they
decided to fight a war
((and die))
rather than stay with their
s
o
n
..
It was a noble cause
He does not deny them that
For they fought for a better place for him
Always for h|i|m
Because they loved him
But it will always be loved
Because they died before he could REMEMBER them
..
He shouldn't feel bitter
His life is g^o^o^d
He is h~a~p~p~y
{most of the time}
He had friends
People who care.
And a w/i/f/e
]Victoire[
Whom he loves more than ANYTHING
And sometimes he wonders if this is how his father felt
For his mother
All t{h}o{s}e years ago
Because that's how
it looks
in the
P
I
C
T
U
R
E
S
Of them that are the only things left of them
Of his parents
His *supposed* protectors
..
He is assured that his /p\a/r\e/n\t/s\
((such a strange word))
loved each other
And loved him
And yet he can't help but
W
O
N
D
E
R
That if that's the case
How come they're not here?
..
He knows he's being unfair
They were w-a-r heroes after all
Saviours who died fighting for what they believed in
And yet all Teddy wishes for at night
Is that he had a family
Such a
S
I
M
P
L
E
thing really
..
Victoire tries to understand
But she can't
Because she has parents
(and so many relatives he's lost count)
So she never r/e/a/l/l/y can
..
Inside, even as he g^r^o^w^s up,
(ten, twenty, thirty)
He remains the little lost boy
Still
S

G
For the parents who love him more than ANYTHING
but they're
d.e.a.d
and
|b|u|r|i|e|d|
So he'll
a:l:w:a:y:s
be looking
