cutting the corners off the end,
with a drawing of her and a friend,
crayon details so many features,
surrounded by protecting creatures,
asked about why they are there,
answered because they do care,
imaginary friends with a real,
soon asked not to draw them as a deal,
another drawing is paper pressed,
as other students are impressed,
more details brought into the light,
as the teacher looks getting a fright,
her deceased father shown clear in view,
as if the artist child already knew,
he watches over her with a halo ring,
and musical notes because he could sing,
fainting from the emotions high,
this causes the students to cry,
but over the noise the teacher fades,
going back in her mind some decades,
sitting with her father in the yard,
he tells her of why he remains to guard,
against the evil of the boyfriends secret dealings,
just confirming her already dark feelings,
awakening soon from her quick faint,
the teacher rises to look at the paint,
finding the girl had already drawn over the top,
she touches her hand in order to stop,
seeing a message written clear,
then suddenly it began to disappear,
rushing from the room with a number to call,
she rings it to find out the truth of all,
with the secrets exposed and him locked away,
the teacher and student keep an eye each day.
