Doltish Trepidation

I have but one fear,

The witty, striped, Cheshire cat.

His many teeth frighten .

 

He becomes still air.

I want to weep all night long.

Go away foul cat.

 

His smile still lingers.

As does his laughing, fading.

Why must you taunt me?

 

The taunting won't end.

I tear my ears out, oh oww.

I'm turning it off.
