yank my chain
slap my face
call me *****
let me ****
and not feel shame

i am manic
full throttle
God
please
make it stop

serotonin
syndrome
dopamine
exhaustion

save me
hold me
i'm afraid
of being alone

kiss me
hurt me
so i can feel
and remember
what it was like to be 16

awh, Little, you’re so sweet
waiting for daddy by the door
lavishing him with love and kisses

awh, Little, you’re so sweet
you want to play
daddy will
after he sits on the couch
and rests for a bit

awh, Little, you’re so sweet
turning on Disney
getting me sweet tea
and a plate of cookies

awh, Little, you’re so sweet
covering me with a blankie
cuddling up with daddy
and watching tv

awh, Little, you’re so sweet
i am so lucky
to have you

“daddy, why do you love me.”

i love
how you make me feel
bring out
the daddy in me
to provide
protect
give you everything

you’re so small
vulnerable
helpless
you are
his little
his baby girl
his kitten

daddy’s heart
softens
warms
when you hug
dote
seek his love
and attention

sit in his lap
wrap your arms
around his neck
you are daddy’s
little girl

***********

“husband, why do you love me.”

i love you as
a friend
a partner,
but most of all
as a soul mate
you’ve made me better
given me
a sense of purpose
grounded me
held my hand
opened my heart
allowed me
to express
share my
innermost feelings
shed tears
and not judged me

***********

“that, my wife & little is why i love you so”

“sweetie”
“yes daddy”
“it’s time for bed’
“daddy”
“yes sweetie”
“i don’t want to got to bed”
“sweetie”
“yes daddy”
“it’s past your bedtime”
“daddy”
“yes sweetie”
“if i go to bed. will you pet me”
“yes sweetie”
“daddy”
“yes sweetie”
“will you stroke my hair”
“yes sweetie”
“and kiss my tummy”
“yes sweetie”
“daddy”
“yes sweetie”
“will you kiss me down there”
“only if you go to bed”
“daddy”
“yes sweetie”
“i’m in bed”

kitten
it’s time for bed
go brush your teeth
daddy will turn down your bed

come here
daddy will undress you
hop on the bed
let me take off your shoes
and slide off your socks
look at those pretty toes

stand up
put your hands up to the sky
there you go
let’s take off that sundress

oh how cute
your ******* have a little bow
i’ll slide them down
now step out
there you go
goodness kitten
you’re so petty
with no clothes

give daddy a kiss
mmm, kitten, you’re so sweet
now into bed you go
daddy will cuddle
and read you a story
and stay by your side
till you fall asleep
