The turn of your years,
The next step to maturity.
The things we take for granted are the most prominent things in our lives right now.

Silence.
Hold my hand you said,
I'm scared you said.
Grandma why are you so scared?
This kind of thing has happened before,
You'll be fine.
Grandma why aren't you making and sense?
You're scaring me.
Grandma why are you so cold?
Why is the only breath in this room mine.
When it is filled with both of us?
Grandma why did you go?
This world is dark
This world is scary
Thus world is different.
Grandma why did you go?

Silence.
Hold my hand you said,
I'm okay you said.
Daddy why are you so unhappy?
You used to laugh and play,
Now you don't.
Daddy why doesn't any of this make sense?
I'm unhappy.
Daddy why are you so cold?
Why is the only thing I hear the sound of my silent screams.
When you're screaming too?
Daddy why did you go?
This world is dark
This world is scary
This world is different.
Daddy why don't you love me?

At 13 me and my mother grew up.
