So this little thing here was inspired by the mid-season finale. It has wincest-y tendencies so, don't read if that's not your cup of tea. Unbeta'd so all mistakes are mine. Enjoy,

-May The Wincest Be With You
I Did What I Had To Do
A six month bundled baby brother
clutched to a four year old chest
as he runs and doesn't look back
at a life that's only ash.
I
Six year old arms
steady a two year olds body
as he pulls that same little brother
away from an angry father
taking the blows himself
instead
Did
Ten year old hands
level a thirteen year old gun
his first time unable to let off shots
as something creeps over a
six year olds bed
What
Fourteen year old fingers
run through a
ten year olds hair
and brush away the sweat and tears
of a 102 degree fever
I
Eighteen year old knees
fall on stone to catch and cradle a
fourteen year olds head
before it hits the 200 year old ground
Had
Twenty-two year old feet
in 30 year old boots
pound against gravel in one last attempt to follow
his eighteen year old brothers
bus 1000s of miles away
to a far off school
To
A twenty-eight year old back
hits fading carpet
as a
twenty-two year old brother
gets the upper hand for the
first time
in their lives
Do
Thirty-two year old eyes
shed countless tears
falling onto timeless grass
reaching for the space a
twenty-eight year old body
had been only moments ago
I Did What I Had To Do
Thirty-eight year old lips
find the mouth of his
thirty-two year old brother
hands clutching that same precious boy to his chest
steadying his steps
running fingers through cradled head
feet motionless
eyes dry
happy for the first time
since taking those fateful steps
through the ash
into a new life
