Dead Poem by Heart of Ice Die Die Die

Dead.
D-E-A-D.
A four letter word,
so small.
Yet,
so meaningful.
Sometimes,
it's the scariest thing ever.
So many meanings,
definitions
Gone
Lost
Abandoned
Has Abandoned
Left
Deceased
Dearly Departed
Away
the list continues.
But,
there's no way to change it.
Yet,
so many people suffer from it
even if they haven't died yet.
A four-year-old girl
blonde hair, big blue eyes.
Living on the streets
because one day
her father left
and didn't come back.
Dead.
The nine-year-old boy
the one you see walking into a gas station sometimes?
Caring for his little brother and sister.
Because his parents Left.
Those children
will never heal.
Not completely.
One more definition.
Forever Lost.
