Guilty

I went out, when it was very dark To search the area for any toad And there it was sitting there like a child in a park Oblivious to the terrible cold I must have seemed like a shark As it slept, when suddenly I pounced B; I kept it for just a day But I know forever in my heart it will stay Now because of me, no more will it play In my own defense I have nothing to say Because I know on all accounts I am so very guilty Of that beautiful toads death C: I sat there by myself, in peace as I am known Behind a rock, I now know as my own Then suddenly I found myself captured I could see the outside world but my movements restricted For such a long while I was thus encumbered It was such a sorry day and I was so scared Then suddenly I felt a blow, terrible pain Blackness The human was guilty!
