you are the cheese
in the trap
all hips and hair

doe eyes
how can i resist
when you look at me so

i gave you my heart
you took my soul
i ate the cheese
you snapped the trap

in a world of men
you are an assassin

your
eyes
smile
youth
your weapons

learn how wield
and wear them

the love
and lust
you inspire
will topple
empires
and sovereigns

i loved you
the moment
i saw you

waited
for the girl
to grow up

to love you

dance with daddy
wear your tutu
spin and twirl

hold his hand
arabesques

pirouette
into his arms
and heart

you’re his little
prima ballerina

kitten
eyes so bright
alive
sweet
demure
you’d be
a great mother
wife and lover

you’re the type
of woman
a man cherishes
steps up
willingly
provides protects
builds a family

kitten
will you marry me
have children
live happily
to the end of eternity
with me

little angel
gift from God
center of my world

little princess
on a porcelain pedestal
cherished deeply

i love you
as only a daddy can

kitten
it was a bad dream
snuggle against daddy
he’ll protect you

lay your head
on his shoulder
close your eyes
fall asleep
daddy is here
