A father-affected
frightens his daughter.
Broken families crumble
under the weight of uncertainty.
Antics of a frantic man-
lie us, awake at night.
Pacing halls,
windowless,
lights switched off.
Mind switched on in the darkness,
of the man she will never see anew.
A dead end is near,
loud and unclear.
The cycle is shear,
as is his life,
so what of his dear wife?
Left to muddle in a puddle of missing tears,
in remembrance of his battles over the years.
