Image for the poem I Couldn

I Couldn't Look Away

Molly was spending the summer with me and my new wife so she could catch up on some classes needed to graduate from high school. She'd become a beautiful young lady and I worried that being the new girl in town might distract from her studies.

Molly must have forgotten about our security system. I heard movement in the living room and checked the monitor. Watching her that way felt awkward but I couldn’t look away.

I remembered how as an infant she sucked my ex-wife’s breasts as if desperate for life. I loved watching her feeding and seeing the satisfaction on my young wife’s face as she shared herself in motherly love.

I knew something of what this unworthy boy was feeling and resented him for it, but still, I understood. The scene was as beautiful as it was troubling.

Did he appreciate the significance of what was being given? Did he sense my daughter's desire for life as I’d seen it grow in her over the years? Or, was her affection being wasted on a boy simply satisfying adolescent cravings, oblivious to the gifts he was receiving?

Regardless of the truth behind what I was seeing, I couldn't look away.

Author's Note
Not a poem so much as a quick story. Looking back, I'm a little embarrassed at how I invaded my daughter's privacy last summer. She spent several weeks in my home and it was inevitable that she would attract the local boys' attention.
