shelter dog
i’m nothing but a shelter dog;
mean because i’m terrified.
desperate to be loved but
snapping at anyone who tries;
needy and overly attached
while being cold and distant—
but i can’t help it,
call it survival instinct;
i can’t be left broken hearted
if i have no heart left to break, right?
your love is a new home but
the feeling of being trapped
does not go away just because
you can’t see the bars anymore.
the cage disappears but that
doesn’t mean the scars do.
i’ll bite the hand that feeds me because
what if it’s not pets this time, but a strike?
i have my hackles up at all times,
growling at sudden movements,
because i have been through too much torment
to let myself be beaten again.
i’d rather be called a bad dog
than be kicked in the stomach
by yet another foot.
but why do you keep stepping on my paws?
it’s an accident followed by apologies
but i still yelp and must
lick my wounds alone nonetheless.
every time i show my belly,
that vulnerable skin ends up wounded,
and there you are, oblivious
in the other room,
and i’m left with only the stars
to hear my aching howls.

I’m like an anxious dog
Every time you leave, I convince myself you’re never coming back.
I don’t understand words of comfort
Don’t do well with time apart
I lick my paws bloody as I wait to see your headlights in the window
Every day feels like the last time I will ever see you
Which is why my tail thumps so hard when the door opens
Why my black jowls part in something resembling a smile
Tongue lolling out when I trot over to welcoming you home.
— Please don’t leave me alone again

Orange streetlight
You've got a pocketful of promises you never kept
I've got a weak heart and a gullible mind
And God's given me a million reasons to forgive you
But I never had the mind to forget
So I'll just wish under an orange streetlight
Hope you'll change your ways till it becomes true

"maybe in some universe i've been braver and we're married,
in this one i wasn't and i prefer it that way.
i miss you less than i love him."
