I've used my mouth as a shovel before
I've gotten the dirt out of people
I've brought their knees to the floor
I've been an animal
I've been down on all fours

I was the ******* dog at your feet
I was begging for the treat

so I've been stained a bit
Drained a bit
I've been dragged around and around
I've been the quiet one and
I've been too loud

and I've been one to slither away
all my friends call me a snake
but
this is it
this is as bad as it gets
***** to be stuck
***** to ****



///////
it's hard to have a home and stay in it
it's hard to have a hobby and stick to it
and it's hard to find love and then sleep with it ... Me? I'm a monster all the way down. I've done things and I'm not proud.
To Lily: My last poem before you left, sorry I forgot to read it out loud
