I came to your side as you lay down to rest Without unwillingness nor hesitation planned I obeyed your command disguised as question in caress And resisted not your tight gripping hand You may have thought me a pet well trained Rewarding me with a silence from heavy breathing So often used in attempt to keep me detained And distracted from all you are concealing But my eyes cannot rest, not yet Even in this abnormal freedom And look they did upon the set And see did they your undefended imaginary proceeding I watched as you tore his hand from me And felt it all the same Attempting to pose yourself as he Was a venture with no question in vain I did not cry when your grip held too tight Nor act in defense or retaliation I simply kept you in my sight As you lost all in desperation Our tie was withered only just so recently And I hoped for its salvation Yet calling upon her to infect me with jealousy The tie broke itself in self preservation

I am no pet
I came to your side as you lay down to rest Without unwillingness nor hesitation planned I obeyed your command disguised as question in caress And resisted not your tight gripping hand You may have thought me a pet well trained Rewarding me with a silence from heavy breathing So often used in attempt to keep me detained And distracted from all you are concealing But my eyes cannot rest, not yet Even in this abnormal freedom And look they did upon the set And see did they your undefended imaginary proceeding I watched as you tore his hand from me And felt it all the same Attempting to pose yourself as he Was a venture with no question in vain I did not cry when your grip held too tight Nor act in defense or retaliation I simply kept you in my sight As you lost all in desperation Our tie was withered only just so recently And I hoped for its salvation Yet calling upon her to infect me with jealousy The tie broke itself in self preservation
