Unwanted protection

Do you want to know a secret?
Something i’ve known for a long time?
You are something special
I see the purity in your eyes
And the lust in theirs.

By cognitive distortion
I have kept you by my side,
Nobody can see you
My little virgin child,
But fear not
This is what destiny made me decide
And now here you lay,
In formaldehyde

The world is so close to collapse.
Find, my daughter
A favorite place to hide,
All the drills and the hammers,
Aren’t things to worry about

And don't worry about the toms and the johns
They wont bug you anymore
These muddy waters?
Just their innards in your tub

Little one
I know you too long
For my caress and my protection
Little one
I know this is
The result of mutual affection

I know this feels
Like unwanted protection
But i can not let them
Stain your soft skin with their eyes

Now here you lay,
Bathing in formalin
Frozen in time.
Pale divinity, cold beauty
Unmoved look full of emptiness,
Subjugated by insects.

Since that day
You have been the same
I cut your nails,
I do your hair,
You haven’t changed a bit,
You’re just quieter now.

Do you want to know a secret?
Something i’ve known for a long time?
You are dead
You just don't know it yet.
