I do not need to show you how to kill a poet,

For you have killed a poet once before.

Poet

"retty" you called me.

While "Please." I begged.

"Pardon me" he said.

For the Pains and vains and chains.

Put a Puzzle in my head,

Made my heart a Portal, in-out, in-out.

pOet

"Oh yes" he moaned,

While "Oh no" I screamed.

Old, he was then,

Old, I am now.

"Obident" he praised,

Oblivious to my pain.

poEt

"Eager" he was always.

Forced me to Embrace,

Pushed me to the Edge and off,

Endearing what no other could.

Shouting at the Earth in rage, trapped inside his cage.

poeT

"Tell no one" he said,

"Talk no more" it was a Threat,

Made my Thinking Torn,

For it was not my Turn.

Please don't let him Touch my Tomb.
