Fatherly Love

Watching your emotions swirl

like water and oil

Careful not to disrupt, afraid I'll corrupt

the open expressions you make

and cause you to appear fake

Silence is my creed

Indifference is my life's lead

Just like the Sun and the Moon

we will separate soon,

I will collect your tears

and carry all your fears

So that you are free to soar

far above Earth's core

While I hide out of sight

and hold with all my might

the pride I last gleaned

from being your favorite fiend

Perhaps you will one day turn

and miraculously learn

This cold-hearted father

 loves you like no other.
