Lexington

There once was a boy

Who was scared of the world

Until he found Lexington

Then he was cured

Lexington sheltered

The young boy from pain

Protected his heart

And protected his brain

Despite how he tried

As the young boy got older

He only got mean

His heart only got colder

He locked up poor Lexington

Left him alone

And went back to the world

All on his own

It didn’t take long

For the demons to find

A boy with no Lexington

And a weak mind

The demons soon filled

The young boy with rage

And laughed at poor Lexington

Locked in cage

When Lexington saw them

He started to shout

“You’re no good for this boy!”

“You’re no good. Now GET OUT!”

The demons responded

“You made your own choice”

“A demon who loves,

Does not have a voice!”

Lexington’s eyes

Began to tear up

But the boy needed him

So he couldn’t give up

“Love is the answer.”

“I promise you’ll see”

“I’m dying in here”

“Please let me free”

But no one could hear him

So he started to cry

Alone in that cage

He was going to die

He layed in the corner

Curled up in a ball

And suddenly water

Was starting to fall

With every breathe

The ice started to melt

And soon everyone

Would know how he felt

He got out of his cage

And started to run

For the first time in years

He could see the sun

He ran even faster

And started to scream

But nobody heard him

Or so it did seem

The demons caught up

They were hot on his tail

Determined to make sure

That Lexington failed

As he took his last breath

He started to grin

It seems someone heard him

“I told you I’d win”

The boy’s heart was beating

The ice melted away

The demon’s were gone

And love got to stay.
