Avaline

She flops over quietly aloft the floor

Begging for me not to beat her some more

Her little cries for help, I just ignore

Because loving her has become such a chore

Tears down her face are so crystal clear

Like the fourth of July every year

Like the shards of the smashed and broken mirror

But while I hurt her again and again

You all cheer
