That Girl of Mine

where is she gone
that girl of mine
has she lost her way?
what is she thinking
that child of mine
thinking or not today?
I see her eyes
that girl of mine
longing for her way.
what will the world give
that child of mine
not holding at bay?

she turned away
that girl of mine
searching for her path.
pressed my lips
that child of mine
defying a father's wrath.
made her mind
that girl of mine
she not I that hath,
the drive to free
that child of mine
in earths mire a bath.

evil does swirl
that girl of mine
lonely and naive.
open arms
that child of mine
embraces the demon seed.
what to behold
that girl of mine
and what to concede?
fathers bruised soul
that child of mine
broken rules to heed.
