Parallel
Fear slowly fills his heart,
screaming, shouting,
he wants to depart,
away from this vortex,
this whirlwind of pain,
dragged into a world
of sorrow and shame.
No one to listen
and no one to care,
he disappears in
a world of despair,
he prays for help,
he prays for light,
he prays for forgiveness,
and the strength to fight.
His desperation
knows no bounds,
locked in a world of
unknown sounds.
Until liberation
finally comes,
and his dying heart,
speeds up and
runs.
Written my me and my Dad when we first met
