Innocence's Bliss

I got the idea from something we were discussing in history class one day. The missing shoe thing was a common metaphor in paintings. I won't tell you what it means; you'll just have to figure it out.

Innocence’s Bliss

Mommy had to leave

She left Daddy to care in her stead.

He told me,

“Mommy is with the birds.”

 

He smiled and laughed,

But would not let me.

I stayed home;

Letting the world go on

Without me.

 

Abandoned was I

From friends,

But not

From Daddy;

My daddy never left me.

 

He stole my shoe

That man"

The one who

Raised,

Comforted,

And Protected me!

 

I was too young

To understand,

To want,

Yet he took my dreams

When the shoe left my foot

And fell to the floor with a echoing

THUD!

 

I remember, before,

When I had my shoe.

I liked having it,

But I cannot go back.

 

My Daddy took my shoe.

Stole it,

Before I got the chance

To even know

That it was there.

 

And now I know

Why Mommy is not here.

Daddy put her

There.
