Me and my lynx
We walk past the bed of the forbidden space
Toddler at age
My lynx just became one
As we enter the room
And I vow to never let my parents know
First of the kind
First of the many
Decade passes swiftly
A cloudy day as
A friend and I sit outside
I see my lynx enter the parking lot
She walks by kids
No one notices
No teacher rushes to pull them away
No kid tries to pet the unknown creature
Step by step
Word by word
As my friend continues to speak in private with me
My lynx grows slightly, more hair turning white
More decades pass
Walking in the dark
A locked book close to my chest
I hear my lynx stalk behind me
The puddles being stepped in by long strides
Screeching of tires
Burning of rubber
Pain of metal on bone
See nothing but redness
Hear nothing but her breathing
Taste nothing but blood and rain
Then I'm blinded
Still clutching to the closed diary
Sometime later
Maybe the same day or week
I found myself in a room
Transforming mirrors for walls
Galaxy for the ceiling and floor
My memories
My fears
My hopes
The present day life of those I knew
All shown on the four walls
I see my dad flipping through the book
As I watch, she walks over to me
Almost as tall as the wall, she covers half the view
My dad continues reading to himself
Tears falling down his cheeks
Matching mine as I see the transformation
The great white lynx shrinks
She becomes young again
My dad finishes reading and I see him wallow in his sadness
I'm left to do the same as my lynx is now brown with a white tail
Now my parents are my galaxy neighbours
My lynx hasn't changed the slightest
I have seen people grow and feed their lynxes
Not realizing that the lynxes will stay till they're in a grave
Either to bring guilt or to remind
