with pure adoration, i cling to those that look my way
wagging my tail and flashing my teeth, i scratch at the carpet for one moment of recognition
i would rip the seams off your very being just so you had someone to tie them together again
i understand now i’m just a mutt
i use my violence as a way to beg for affection. i bow at your feet with my tail between my legs and beg for your touch
i will take the beatings if they shape me into someone you deem worth keeping around
i will cower and ask for mercy
and i will not dare raise my voice to bark back
