Anguish when a parent takes on responsibility for actions of others.

burning eyes

flame quenched with tears



burning words

silenced response



trapped

no respite



Trust? yea

Faith? nay



their guilt breeds my guilt

I have failed



the just shall live by faith.?



yet my faith is weak,

am I not just?



no way out,

is there a way through?



dross encrusted life

thrust into the flames



what will come out?

when quenched by tears
