A/N: I sincerely apologize for the delay! I've had major writer's block for a very long time, and in a spur of boredom, I went looking through my fanfic folders to find this! I remember this..

Trigger Warnings for: Major character death [not explicit], child abuse, family.

You are 16 when you die

16 when warmth finally engulfs you

but it isn't from the love you so desired.

You are 15 when you fall in love.

15 and he's older and the world has hardened him

and made him stone cold.

You know you should be afraid,

but you're glad you're not.

You are 12 when you meet them

12 when you meet the gang

and feel like you belong again.

You are 8 when it starts pouring fists from your father

and 8 when you cry oceans instead of tears.

You are 6

and your parents scream in harmony

and start arguing daily

instead of monthly.

You are 4

and all you really know

is that your parents love you

with their entire being.

A/N: Another poem's coming right up after this one~
