Unwanted Protection

Do you want to know a secret?

Something i’ve known for a long time?

You are something special

I see the purity in your eyes

And the lust in theirs.

By cognitive distortion

I have kept you by my side,

Nobody can see you

My little virgin child,

But fear not

This is what destiny made me decide

And now here you lay,

In formaldehyde

The world is so close to collapse.

Find, my daughter

A favorite place to hide,

All the drills and the hammers,

Aren’t things to worry about

And don't worry about the toms and the johns

They wont bug you anymore

These muddy waters?

Just their innards in your tub

Little one

I know you too long

For my caress and my protection;

Little one

I know this is

The result of mutual affection;

I know this feels

Like unwanted protection

But i can not let them

Stain your soft skin with their eyes

Now here you lay,

Bathing in formalin

Frozen in time.

Pale divinity, cold beauty

Unmoved look full of emptiness,

Subjugated by insects.

Since that day

You have been the same

I cut your nails,

I do your hair,

You haven’t changed a bit,

You’re just quieter now.

Do you want to know a secret?

Something i’ve known for a long time?

You are dead

You just don't know it yet.
