Priceless

A hefty Price pierces my shining armor,
and in her words my soul flounders.
My strength buckles
and the weight of her heartbreak is felt...

Kneeling on the back of my neck,
a father's burden and greatest fears realized
and felt so impossibly...
so passionately...

In that instant,
channeled
through uncalloused irises and seared unto a virgin heart.

Tapping into the deepest well of love that I have,
my tears turn red.

And I bleed for her...
