The prodigal
Location
I've borrowed and taken and ripped away all they had to offer
nothing given back or repayed
They love this parasitic monstrous horror
their caring love never fades
The bank accounts emptied and mental reserves taxed
but still their love, never lax
for this boy who has left home to create his own life
and has used up all that has been given him
they still care through the pain and strife
for this boy who has yet to attone for his sins
