Oswald's Lament

by ElvenAC14


My heart has stopped beating

I feel pain and then nothing

Everything is dark and empty

What in the world has happened to me?

Where's my home with my precious wife?

Where's my kids and what's my life?

I wish to be back in my old house

Who is this imposter, this weak mouse?

My anger has built up, along with my pain

My efforts, my luck, turned into vain

As much as I want to survive

It hurts, it turns, it burns, my chest alive

In front of my eyes, my luck as turned

My family's here, but it got much worse

Just when I thought I wasn't alone

A beast has come and inserted my wife to stone

Now I live up here, my fate branded

Everyone left me abandoned

My children are lost, I am ashamed

For they are gone and I'm the one to blame

My anger has built up, along with my guilt

My kindness and hope are starting to wilt

As much as I want to cry

It hurts, it turns, it burns, my eyes, they're dry

This tragedy can't be my fault

My life had suddenly came to a halt

I think I may have found my key

To see who started this mystery

It was him who made that monstrosity

Due to his curiosity

It was he who made me lose my spouse

The one, the only, loveable Mickey Mouse

Now when I found out, I was pure mad

But I found that he was actually quite sad

For what he done, he felt condemned

I think I might be feeling pity again

I decided to become his friend

And help him put this monster to an end

But before I could hold on to his hand

Fate decided for me to be banned

From caring for another

Banned from becoming Mickey's brother

My joy has gone, as soon as it came

Now no one would ever hear my name

Mickey is not the one to blame

It hurts, it turns, it burns, my color in flame

Feeling color rise from me

I, Oswald, can no longer see

Transforming into something dark

I bare, I have, monster's mark

My anger has built up, along with my pain

My efforts, my luck, turned into vain

As much as I want to survive

I feel like I won't escape this alive

Feeling my nerves slip away

My colors are now turning to grey

I plead, I want, I need to be free

It hurts, I've turned, it burns, my head

It hurts, I've turned, it burns, it's dead

It hurts, it burns, I've turned into the Storm Blot

Goodbye, goodbye, my heart and my brother
