All mine

Not in secret
Not in spirit
Mine in my mind
Inside and not behind
Once I saw
A lovely rabbit hopping along
I thought I'd chase just for a bit
Until,
That rabbit bit me right back
And then I thought,
Maybe rabbits aren't the best pets
But I kept it inside
That lovely thing
Blinking to sing
Living to be tied by string
It chased itself to near exhaustion
Till it died by itself in a spring
It'd rather die alone
Then be comforted by the unknown
