A Daddy's Romance
Love isn't always alive in every life.
I sit,
staring into my mind's universe,
waiting for the earthquake to come.
A swig of monster later,
his eyes cloak with the being of a moon's eclipse,
film concealing all hint of light,
and darkness radiates.
A sharp smack of the air,
then skin.
My psyche shatters like the drop of a glass,
only leaving fragments splintered on the ground.
I look down to catch my reflection,
but Daddy's eyes keep me from seeing.
Daddy says he loves his little girl.
The monster surely does no justice.
I lie,
heaped on the floor,
power in the eyes of the monster,
taking Daddy's unique concoction of love.
I glue my globe back together,
but there will always be cracks,
reflection filling with Daddy's love,
romancing heart-shaped bruises.
