Innocent eyes starring at mine:

“when will everything be 

Alright”, a subtle question 

In motion of minimal 

Comprehension and I wish

I could explain but you are

Far too young. 

My faults may affect them 

All, the father with the 

Final cut, no where to be 

Seen he is keeping her

From me because my

Mistakes pushed her

Away. 

You sat there and held

Me, like everything was

Okay, like the world was

Right, but when my hopes

Were in sight, you wiped

Yourself out of my life. 

Safe behind parental lines

Who stare at me in 

Judgment, I am sorry for

What I did, my sin was 

Far too great. 

I don’t know if everything

Could be okay, if I could

Let her heart open up 

For you again, the father

Has the final say, to him 

You must apologize. 

May I wake up again,

Know this awful world 

Again, like life let loose

The lustful desires of

My sinful heart so that

My love may let go

Of me in every moment

Of my day. 

Oh a rose to fall in the

Exhaust of an old van,

Crushed by what she

couldn’t understand 

And I may never know

How she felt.
