Rescue

Tick tock

hear the keening of the clock

monsters

sirens too.

Ogres

fiends

waltzing by

guarding gates

never to allow you  back in.

Cavern deep

blackness encroaching

wanting to hide my heart

see the casket there

no?

That is because you shan’t.

Cloistered

closed

hidden away

stubborn bravo

my game.

My front.

My ability to stand tall

look you in the eyes

never will I show pain.

Wide open

seeing the present

future

how fucked can we be?

Hi ho

ho hi

stand and see.

I will slay the dragon

sword edge slicing through.

You decided I was not worth the save

so I had to rescue me.
