Pandora's Box, or Rising Action, Falling Action -- Part Two
I attempt to fight -
Defend my friend and take fault,
But to no avail.
I accept it was my blame,
But try to be strong in heart.
My feelings of guilt -
Sown from mistakes made by me.
But the worst has come.
I look my friend in the eye -
And I come to say goodbye.
My resolve ignites -
I must correct my mistakes.
I will work harder.
I must keep moving forward -
Some job is waiting for me.
------------------------
I rise in ranking -
I push hard around the clock,
No more work mishaps.
At last, I have found a place!
The museum awaits me.
All is quiet now -
No disruptions have occurred.
It is too silent.
My responsibility?
I find it nice and peaceful.
But he would return -
Like a shadow in the night,
A gem was taken.
Chaos disrupted all peace,
With Pandora ruling it.
----------
I renew myself -
My armor is green not blue;
My own chrysalis.
My soft armor gleams in black;
Soon to have its own deep tears.
I scowl like a wolf -
My pack must work with that thief!
One thief against more.
My memory is a haze -
I was taken by a clan.
I watch like a hawk-
Whatever his choices say,
I will be ready.
I now sit weary and caged.
I wait for something to come.
-------------
The paths twist and wind-
I move fast every which way,
As solemn duty.
I have no box or treasure-
Life is all that I have left.
I think about him-
And wonder what happened to him.
I hope he is well.
I think about him and pause;
Does he know where I am now?
I will look for Dave.
That is my vow, no matter-
No matter the cost.
I will see Rupert again.
I have faith that he will come.
