My Lover Is A Pet Owner

A person in love is a pet

Gullible to its master

Will wag its tail in satisfaction

You say 'sit', I’ll obey

Submissive by choice

Will kneel by your order, so

Excuse the abandonment and infidelities

I wasn’t given a right to be respected

Loyalty is in danger

By men’s exploitation 

I wish that these puppy eyes

Will work again for another time

I’ll eagerly eat the same food

The lies you feed me every day

Because I don’t know my worth

I have nowhere to go

Only to you

I’ll turn a blind eye to your imperfections

Admire your cunningness, and

The audacity to take me for granted

You are like a child wanting a pet

And when the interest is gone

You’ll get another one

To spice things up

Aloe Vera for that Burnt Love

We were in each other's flames

And burned out

We believed no one is leaving us 

Never not I knew, a thing or two

About leaving you

The lack of noise followed me around

I tried to seek the light of your smile

The high, and enlightenment it gives

But I was already out of reach

Never not I knew, you weren't the one

I tried to reason my way out

To avoid harming your heart

We hoped no one is giving up

But ashes were in your stead

I was the first to step back

Apologies for ruining us
