Your Pet

 I said I was your pet and you my owner,

because you own my heart, my soul and hopes too.

However then I bet, that not one owner,

would spend so many days apart, without a bowl, a ring or two.

Did you forget that pets are loyal? No matter what, no matter when, they don't recoil.

They take as little as they can, unless too much neglect occurs and then they run.

They can't be left to hunger long without their purrs, that would no doubt be wrong, for

another would struggle then, to lift them up again.

For when the hopes are crushed, the care forgotten, the heart is hard to be entrusted, the soul is *trotten (*trampled).

So what's the best thing one can do?

I don't know darling, that's up to you.

After 4 years I think you know, I do love you dearly,

but how, I do not know.

For love is weird and love is hard

but love is nonetheless and gone my guard.

It might not be true, if unrequited with you, yet doesn't mean it's less real, so let's make a deal.

If a friend or a pet is what you need or want, you will have by the rules to play indeed or don't.

For a friend I always was

and a pet I then became, as a friend I'll always care because, 

even if your pet I'm not, you'll always be my flame.

You warmed my heart and soul, time and time again,

and in a different life I know,

my love was never tame.

So le me ask you then, is it really not an option, to throw all fears into a den and make me your devotion?

Because I know I'm worthy and I know you are too and we might not be wealthy but of us there's two.

Finding one another was such a lucky win, in my personal opinion it sounds silly to be mean.

Keeping all your distance, avoiding getting hurt, has been just a hindrance and missing out on a good flirt.

It was never a question I enjoyed our time together, it was always a question if you'd ever ask forever.

No matter what your last word might be, as a friend you'll be never rid of me

However if you really cannot see that a future together could just be, if I then fall for another, do not think less of me.

My feelings never fleeting nor superficial, and right enough our fate was leading us in something beneficial 

A deep connection lasting years, bringing satisfaction and so many cheers

And yet so many heartaches followed by so many tears, for each time you rejected me with your fears

inside me something breaks.

I want to love and be loved back

I get to love but don't get back

Part reasons known and part unknown 

It's just not fair, makes me despair.

I am used to suffering but I 'd love recovering 

In a warm and soft embrace, willing to give me space

I have a world to give, you know

you might not want that though so I will forgive.
