My Dad

Location

When the darkness takes over

 

He was my hero

He was my life

The one that saved me every night.

The light to my soul

The beat to my heart

Was how I felt before we fell apart.

I hated him deeply

For what he allowed my eyes to see.

The hungry evil in the world

Took over what he use to be.

Who is he anymore?

Where did he go?

Why did he let it change him

So far lost he didn’t know.

Now he’s hurt

Now he’s dying

I have to push him to keep trying.

I wont let it win

This evil cancer that lives within.
