Her Father's Eyes
How tenuous the boundary between love and pain-
How easy to mistake the first and learn the truth too late-
How hard to bear what brings to mind mistakes that we despise-
And when I look into her face, I see her father's eyes.
He tried to steel away my throne he tried to rule my life-
And I'm not made to forgive a cowed and cowered wife!
My love became my enemy who sought his Queen's demise-
And when I look into her face, I see her father's eyes.
Poor child, we battled over her as two dogs with a bone-
And I should not see his treachery in temper tantrums thrown-
I should not see betrayal when there's not but childish lies-
But when I look into her face, I see her father's eyes.
Now how am I to deal with this rebellion in my soul?
I cannot treat her fairly when my own heart is not whole.
I truly wish to love her but I'm not so strong or wise-
And when I look into her face, I see her father's eyes-
Only- her father's eyes.
