Grieve, and the world grieves with you, lose your mind, and you'll lose her too; for the sad old toys pay no due, but has no reason to cause a ruse. Breathe, and the stillness will answer, fake her laughter, and you'll fake being a father; the gentle tapping of her feet no longer play dancer, but ghostly taps fill your anger.

Guilt,
Grieve, and the world grieves with you, lose your mind, and you'll lose her too; for the sad old toys pay no due, but has no reason to cause a ruse. Breathe, and the stillness will answer, fake her laughter, and you'll fake being a father; the gentle tapping of her feet no longer play dancer, but ghostly taps fill your anger.
