Don't be frightened
Of my pet wound
Please
Don't
Back off
Or shy away
I love him so deeply
Despite all his pain
As he loyally
Follows me
Every
Single
Day
You see,
He is
A rescue case.
Somewhere in a
Forgotten past
Something painful
Something often
Too painful
To talk about
But he tries so very hard
To do it all right.
We are companions
Who traverse this
Tricky land.
And we
Would both
Very much love
To share
Our time
If you would have us.
With our tender edges.
I promise,
He means no harm—
He is just looking
For a missing part.
Looking into his eyes
You will see something soft
Not scary
Just insecure.
I know he has his hackles up,
Is a little bit yappy,
Even nippy...
But he means no harm.
Underneath all those prickles
Are feelings
So very sweet
And deep.
But honestly,
I understand—
If you need to walk,
No need to even talk,
It’s not your pain.
Because he feels
A little bit sore—
But he means no harm.
Though you stretch my heart
In ways so very profound,
I feel my essence
Spilling.
So I gently
Ask—
Please don't be frightened
Of my
Pet
Wound.
