Daddy?
May 14, 2016
im not afraid of the big bad wolf
the one you read to me about
while you sat beside me combing my hair
in the soft glow of the cottage warmth
draping me in my favourite red blanket
just you and me
do you remember that time
but it changed
you came home in the early morning
your body reeking of drink
you growled and pounced
while i huddled myself in the corner
asking my dolls for help
their expressions glazed over like glass
do you remember those nights
im not afraid of the big bad wolf
even if im his daughter
daddy?
