Obligatory Love
Innocents a non existent memory
A child with no smile
Shattering eyes pierce
A distraction from the pain
Consequence lay deep within
Innocence lost
Though never truly attained
Victimless distraction
In the hour of need
Innocence lost
Shattering eyes pierce
Impenetrable sorrow
A child with no smile
Fits full of rage
Bound head in hand
Consuming
Innocence lost
Love lacking responsible thought
Eyes shattering in distain
Obligatory love
Crushing innocence
A child deemed well
Eyes shattering
Indignant denial swells
Nonexistent
A child lost
Innocence betrayed
Behind piercing eyes
Lies haunting innocence
Shattering
Within solitude a comfort gained
Deemed well again
Swells repressed once again
Indignant denial
Obligatory love
(2013)
