"Bitter-Sweet Paradise"

The perfect paradise

They were there, even

If it was only for a moment

A moment spent in paradise

Where she had it all

With her father

Oh, how wonderful her

Bitter-Sweet paradise

Spent on a star, blowing

Kisses to the moon

Holding the father

She never knew

Cursing the hated world

That lied beneath her

Wishing upon every star

That she could remain here

Just for a few more moments

To spend the night in her fathers arms

Upon his star where he stares down

Upon the daughter he never had

Where he gets the chance to

Say all that he never could

With that they looked

Into each others eyes

And in that moment

All the words never said

Were spoken through their eyes

Oh, paradise paradise

How she wants to stay.

She sees the moon and stars grow dim

Knowing that its time to go

She holds on tighter, hoping

She’ll never have to let go again

Oh, Bitter-Sweet paradise

She smiled at him-with a smile

Only a daughter can give

With that he embraced her tightly

And his tears fell onto her cheek

And brought life to her once again.

She woke from her dream

Losing her father all over again

Breaking her heart and

Taking everything sacred

Parting two people who

With an embrace had it all,

Who with an embrace

Had paradise.

Wow, that's pretty deep and sad... But it's a nice poem to read; made me slightly depressed actually. PD17 Out...
