My First Home

1991
A year of tears and pain
Everything lost
Only fear to gain
A man with bad intentions
Wreaked havoc on my home
Set it a blaze 
And cut me to the bone
House still standing
But the belly was destroyed
Always looking for answers
To try to fill the void
When I would see it in the distance
I felt broken hearted
But I have memories
Of where it all started
