Puppies Grow Up

By WaryDreamer

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

You wouldn't let me love you,   You never let me care; I just wanted to be near you   But you wouldn't let me there. Whenever I drew close to you   I was always pushed away. I never did understand   Or know what I ought to say. Just like a little puppy,   I came time and time again Thinking, "This might be my chance...   Today, I'm bound to win! Today, he just might hold me ~   Cuddle me and love me right." Yet...you never seemed to want me.   But others caught your sight. They were always better ~   I came in second best; But someday, I'll be a real bitch ~   Better than all the rest!                 mMarch 1988 "Someday" is here now, and I'm sure there are those who'd declare that I've fulfilled the prophecy. Time passed...I found another who always put me first up until the day he died, and somehow, whether puppies grow up or not doesn't really matter any more. m Written October 26th, 2001 © on Oct 26 2001 01:47 PM PST   18 • 0 • 8
