Father left |
|
You were crushed |
|
Like the petals of a flower |
|
Between the pages of a novel |
|
A long forgotten bookmark |
|
The end of a sad chapter |
|
When he left her she read no more |
|
And so left all trust |
|
Of any man that wants you |
|
To dress in black plastic |
|
Or sing with your eyes only |
|
As though you were autistic |
|
Whisper diamonds and insolence |
|
Enter misadventure |
|
Neither tawdry or resplendent |
|
In clothes that hide your figure |
|
She was daddy's little sparrow |
|
He was a dirty picture window |
|
Mister Inappropriate |
|
Who washes his hands after |
|
He things someone is watching |
|
Too restless for education |
|
Craves only entertainment |
|
And to this day |
|
There is no one you trust |
|
Father left your mom |
|
They say you were crushed |
|
Like the petals of a flower |
|
Between pages of a novel |
|
A long forgotten bookmark |
