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.
There was a boy
before the shadows learned his name
before the mirrors lied
before mornings came with weight
He was laughter in kitchen light,
barefoot across cold floors,
a voice calling
"Dad, look at this, watch me, just watch!"
and the world watched
because he was
that kind of bright
the kind you don't think can burn out
the kind you assume
is permanent.

user-tYYAB62Jw9: I loved your/this story, thank you 😊 . Look forward to more writings. I was so invested in the kids. Curious who or which one is Annie's mate. Maybe Dylan since Collin is a werewolf. Although she'd also make a good Luna. Smiles 🙂

Miriam: I liked the way the plot was set up and then the relationship progressed. Some may not like the discretion but it all led up to a very happy ending with a bit of suspense leading up to it. Definitely a cliffhanger. Waiting for a follow-up.
