Daddy's Little Secret

Disguised, I see her in secret A Girl not knowing, her real truth Skin and Hair, dark as mine like Mother, eyes beautifully blue Her face an illustration of life. Her "Dad" Provides comforts. Buying clothing and food. Sheltering her precious head. My Love, simply doesn't provide, These essential needs. The lie so real,now blurring through. revealing truth seems unthinkable A Selfish Desire, immensely cruel. When she brings me, my child: Relegated to Just, another familiar face, one of mommy's many friends. So I concede, painfully living our lie. My happiness returns, those special days Our Rendezvous' on odd days, in strange places. Refusing to, fully surrender, Surrender my claim, still willfully I conspire redacting our past.
