<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Wriggled your escape from my hugs,
\nSquirmed away disgusted, to wet kisses on your rosy cheeks,
\nTiny palms, frantically wiping as you sprinted to the sink,
\nAlways came back drenched, face, hair and dress,
\nMy aqua princess of hygiene, stood proud and satisfied,
\nI laughed hysterically to your portrayal of mad.<\/p>\n
Cradling a peaceful you in my arms, this instant,
\nAn unfamiliar silence, piercing into my ears,
\nWhy aren\u2019t you fussing to be let loose?
\nTiny pearls of tears on your clean face,
\nWhy aren\u2019t you wiping them off your cheeks?
\nWash them off, get all wet, get really mad,
\nOpen your eyes princess, flaunt those big brown eyes,
\nThere is so much more to live for in this life,
\nYou look very much alive, it hurts to accept otherwise,<\/p>\n
I wish to turn back time and kiss you a million times, never to let go,
\nI want more of you, desperate for help but all heads are down today,
\nThe Lord took you away from me, not granting my wish,
\n5 minutes late on that fated day ended up with a lifeless you,
\nHow could I forgive myself? I wasn\u2019t there to save you,
\nBut why must it be you?
\nWhy my little baby girl?
\nSelfish thoughts taunting me closer to insanity.<\/p>\n
My hands feel cuffed, unable to lay you down on your resting bed,
\nYou look every bit of an innocent child of mine,
\nBut underneath all that make up, lies fresh bruises and wounds,
\nIndescribable pain and agonising sequenced of events,
\nA sad story that will always remain a secret, you take to the grave,
\nBrutality forced onto a helpless child, who hugged her teddy to sleep,
\nAnimals in human form, heartless murderers, I want them dead,
\nYou RAPED my little girl! Wrote the final chapter of her story,
\nNamed it fate and slapped it hard onto my face.
\nYour own fate awaits your arrival and good always prevails.<\/p>\n
My sweet little princess,
\nHeaven welcomes your arrival today my dear,
\nYou will be safe, no one can hurt you no more,
\nDaddy will miss you dearly, sweetheart,
\nI wipe my tears off my baby\u2019s beautiful face,
\nGave her one last kiss on her rosy cheek.<\/p>\n
