Father Loves Daughter Options

[*Kathleen*]

A defiant glare and witty remark
Was clearly all it took
Slumped in the corner, head down
As the coroner came to have a look

Death, he reported near midnight,
Was massive blood loss
Blunt trauma to the head -
'Twas the high price death clearly cost

Mr. Niceguy to wife and friends,
But madness festered beneath
Beneath the façade of success
But unfortunately far too deep

The short hand strikes at eleven
Gasping as her senses fail,
Her life lets go its grip
As this nears the end of her tale

Malice and lunacy coincide
As he staggers further back
With no regret
For the fatal end of attack

Very, very nice work, Kathleen.
It painted a vivid picture.
Excellent job, and I love the words you chose. Nice, nice work.
