Alone... Fear....
Today...
Twas quiet....
I was alone....
In the dark....
In the light...
All alone....
No presence I feel....
No soul other than mine...
I was alone...
They left me...
To be the keeper...
Upon my shoulders such tedious task....
I wanted to break free...
But restrained I am...
In this cage of mine...
I was alone...
The fear...
Of being alone...
Crept up to me...
Like the devil...
No one to speak...
No one to play with....
No one to argue...
No one to see....
It was me, me.... and my keepings...
I heard a rumble....
So loud and so near.....
Looked up into the sky...
It was crystal clear....
Then I heard it twice....
Coming from my tummy...
Then I realised...
I have not feasted...
I took up my mini-black box....
And pushed these little Roman digits...
And waited....
The devil hook me up...
She spoke so soft....
It was tempting....
I was tempted....
I blurted my wish....
And it went Tututu....
I waited all alone...
For hours and hours it seems.....
Then finally a ring at the door...
I took up the Devil's offerings...
And feasted on them I did....
I took my time...
To fill my gluttony...
Till left of scarce bones...
Insufficient even to spare a vulture....
Then off I was....
It was getting hot...
Off with these sticky fittings....
And into a refreshing fountain...
Cleanse my body and soul...
And mind at it too...
Then I lay myself down....
And off my lids were closed...
An hour or two has passed...
Then a ring from my mini-box...
They are returning...
I made haste...
Clothing myself once again....
Awaiting their arrival.....
From one day of torture....
Of being left alone....
I know what it feels like...
Now.....
I cherish.....
All company given....
All the wild things happening....
When I was left alone to guard the house....
