If
Did you know Daddy?
That it would be your last day,
And when you didn’t wake
everything in the past,
Suddenly became the last.
At least in this existence
you are gone.
But would it be  different,  if you knew?

You said it so much I thought it was my name.
Too much skin attracts the wrong kind of men.
You warned me not to dress this way.
And if I did, I become their prey.
What a game you love to play.

You always ask how  I am,
I’m fine, I’m okay.

Good thing too because I'm not quite healed enough to be so free.

The smile he possesss Softens the pain & diminishes the worry.
Without even knowing the full story.
I swear we’re connected, like Mary and George Bailey.
You’ve saved me.
Mary and George Bailey: It’s a wonderful life.
