The boy's critter is allegory
Of confessions...Sad memory
He lived a simple life this critter
Among scattered city litter
Daylight fainted into night
The boy arrived with strange delight
The critter was an awkward friend
At times he felt entertained
We can't explain how this creature
Came to know a human feature
What we know that he appeared
Greeting something his kind feared
Every time beside a branch
Ignoring the human stench
Knew the sound of one's footstep
Weighed with worry and regret
The critter couldn't really fathom
How this boy was always alone
Unbeknown to this brave insect
The boy held a deep dark secret
How sad it was doesn't matter
Noone else knew but the critter
Shuffling closer over weeks
He drank from the fallen tears
Why was this night much more special
The boy walked on the shore with a girl
Her smell didn't worry him
He nested once beside a bin
Sweet fragrance of thrown apple corks
The girl's skin oozed the same fine odours
He came out nevertheless
Waiting for the boy to confess
There he met a greater concept
Hard to learn for any insect
How the human race supreme
Squashing things that bring on fear
A dark chapter therefore ended
For the kid he once befriended
Small sacrifice to start a new page
Without witness of his sad rage
Of confessions...Sad memory
He lived a simple life this critter
Among scattered city litter
Daylight fainted into night

The critter was an awkward friend
At times he felt entertained
We can't explain how this creature
