When I was around the age of eleven,
I knew this boy, the age of seven.
He was like a best friend,
He was there to the end,
And now he is up in Heaven.

Anyone could have saved him.
And for not knowing I don't blame them.
I could have broke down a door,
I could have asked more,
I just didn't think of this, then.

This poem is in memory of my best friend who was younger than me who died of child abuse.
