Walking through the hallowed halls
That line my mind. Dimly lit,
So my shadow crawls
Subservient to my mind; unfit.
And I shall walk into a room
That holds a lock to an open
Hatch. The lock just sits beside a broom
In a haggard state beside an open
Can, that is found to be filled
With plenty of keys. Keys that
Would hold something that had killed
Part of me. In guard of the can, a cat.
The ancient protector; one unkind.
It hissed and clawed, and scratched
At the floor. Making me defensive of my find.
I wanted to find the open hatch
So I can lock away the criminal
My mind had let loose. “Cry shame!”
Hissed the dreadful cat, its waste of breathe minimal.
It developed hands to help prey on his game,
It wielded the broom that became a sabre.
It became the madman that wished me dead.
And it swung its blade with little labour.
To which its grazed my surprised head.
I collapsed on the floor, wishing
That I could keep my mind my home. Yet it
Fell upon my injured soul, dishing
A medicine, to humble me fit.
As I bleed on the floor that’s now foreign
Land. I kiss it as if bidding farewell.
I see the monster ravage my land and my accomplishments like corn.
Yet, I realize that in my silent Hell,
What I give is a lifeless soul.
For my eyes,
To lookers by,
Will only show, voided holes.
That line my mind. Dimly lit,
So my shadow crawls
