Borrowed Light.

There was a boy who used to glow.
Before the silence.
Before the distance.

Before the nights that stretched too long and the mornings that never felt like beginning again.

To his father, he was everything.

laughter in the kitchen,

music through open doors,

a life full of promise that felt unbreakable.

But slowly, almost quietly, that light begins to fade.

Not all at once. Not in a way you can stop.

Just enough to notice... and then too much to ignore.

Borrowed Light is a haunting story poem

about love that refuses to let go, even when it doesn't know how to hold on.

Told through fractured moments and aching truths, it follows a father and son caught in a cycle of hope, loss, and the desperate fight to find each other again.

This is not a story about easy answers.
It is a story about staying.
About breaking.
About loving someone through the darkest parts of who they become.

And about the fragile, flickering hope
that maybe.

just maybe
some light can still be found.
