8 eyes die
Tiptoes, softly, gently steering
he towards me, and me I'm fearing
thief of childhood ever nearing
INNOCENCE OF 8 EYES DIE
I close my eyes and pray for morning
Futile hope is heavenly soaring
Take flight my prayer to God most high-STILL
INNOCENCE OF 8 EYES DIE
A fathers duty is - he whispers
A promise to love all 4 sisters
This one promise he has kept - all other spoken words inept
HYPOCRISY shines in his eyes
HIS gift of love in 8 EYES DIE
His gift of love thru life I carry
trust in man I am too leary
Death of soul I grow so weary
In carnal knowledge 8 EYES DIE
with years gone by - he'll make amends
by asking such - he does offend
would I go to death as my revenge
FOR THE INNOCENCE OF 8 EYES DIE
As father sits - morosely crying
joy fills my soul - there is no denying
till thru opaque charade he's lying
Forever more he still would take
TAKE THE INNOCENCE OF 8 EYES - WHY

Thank you johnrot. Everytime I think I've completely purged myself of the past, something like this comes out. I guess I save all my anger for paper and ink.

Spurs so many reactions. Violence to the one who dared! Anger that it should ever have been. Heartbreak for the child and sisters. The fact that it's torturous to read shows the strength of the write. Well done, Shaunda.

Thanks again. I didn't realize all the different emotions I was feeling until reading your comment.
