“Nathan”
I peer at your height
Through my pretty dark eyes
That lay embedded in a sheet of white flesh
I feel so small, so helpless
If you wanted to, you could harm me
I bathe in that feeling
I love it because it is both comforting
and frightening
And I gaze at you with a questioning
I ask you
Are you my savior?
Are you my angel?
My father?
My lover?
You cannot answer me
And you cannot harm me
It bleeds my heart, this invincibility you give me
The power you give me
But you cannot see
That I am but a child
A child for eternity
And you force me to play queen
As I am just the baby
Such innocence you can see in me
Such beauty
Purity
Such things I never imagined I could posess
And when I hit you
And when I curse you
Still, you will not retaliate
I hated you for that
And I loved you for making me hate you
My prince
My love
At whom I gaze from just above the slopes of my pale cheeks
And you smile
And you touch my face
So I am yours forever
Locked together in hatred, and in love
So in love
