you'd run if you could
and smile like you should.
i wag my tail and roar
in hopes to make you soar,
but your legs don't work
and those arms are no better.

you can't walk but ****, you have love
but love is never enough.
a heart as large as the seas,
body crippled with a tragic disease.
i'll scream till you leave
anything to make you believe.

she smiles and looks away,
looking to give you a brighter day.
hope is all she has left
but fear has crept and made its home
in a heart that should be left alone.
i see the spark in her eyes
and toot away in my trail of lies.

every day i think about my funeral
and think i'll be missed.
who knows if it's true
for i am only a dog
slender, soft and sweet,
with a heart as big as a peach.
this isn't enough.
i'm never enough.

i just wanted to see you smile
but you left me feeling angry and vile.
i hope you never pet me again
and find me in my cage
battered and dead.
