Behind
Eclipse (Nymphomaniac part one by Lars Von Trier) about Joe’s traumatic grief of her dear father’s death

Joe from Nymphomaniac part one
This is a companion piece to my poem Crying.
About a mother and son, death and grief.
This is about a daughter and her deep love for her father.
even if I could hide behind my bloody, self-pleasured painting
covering up the trauma of sexual release, I find that the
indelible, linked to morose passion
petrified, my passion is obscured
silent, like the stars with the painful
eclipse of your sudden death, rising moon-star

Omgggg, this was so raw, intense, emotional and deep! You packed a punch here with your Acrostic! I loved it!
Excellent, the love u describes a daughter for her father that's really speechless
Oh man, this was tough to read as a "survivor" and trying to get my own head around why I can still feel so much hurt but still long for love and recognition by the person I idolized. Painful.
