#paternal
Once upon a time,
safety was the innocent,
and I'll never be so bold
never considered myself,
a surrogate father.
I did to a nine year old.
I spoiled her rotten.
As she grasped my hand,
as we entered the city,
it changed my falling sands.
All the yummy mummies
thought she was a kid of mine,
And I became protective.
Her mother was never maternal,
but the day her sweet child,
gripped me with nervousness
I became suddenly so paternal,
Protect her from the strange-ness
I became bullet-proof blocking
of the ****** peeks in this city.

So you're happy now
with another man
at home with our son
I will always be his dad
you told me
and I thank you
Just so you know
I never stopped loving you
I never stopped being ****
but I never stopped loving you
when your skin is liquid
and your teeth rattle in your skull
I will still love you
When the earthworms
use your eye sockets as tunnels
and when all men have either forgotten
or are too scared to speak your name
I will still love you
you deserve to be happy
and you are right to move on
if you feel as though your dreams with me
are truly dead and gone
just know that I still love you
love the father of your son

She wears long sleeves to hide her scars he smokes a cigarette in the back of his car. They’ve been pushed to the point of wanting it all to end. They have an unborn child which they don’t know yet, it was a one night stand that left her with regret.
They don’t feel like they can raise a child but those two pink lines make her feel better now, it’s a fresh start and a second chance for him to be a better man than what he is now and what his father was growing up a chance to wake up every morning next to the woman he loves.
She’s afraid of the mother she will be, afraid that her little girl will be sitting in her room alone comforted by an empty bottle and a blade with so many tears streaming down her child’s face just like hers did.
