Please… look at me…
Behold:
I remember when you used to hold me
When you used to touch me
When you used to love me
I remember when he gave me to you
You were beyond happy
Beyond excited
Beyond emotions
You loved me
You cared for me
You were my home and my rock
You would take me for walks daily
You would run alongside me
My tiny legs struggling to keep up
But now I am a bother
A nuisance
A pet
No more do we walk
No more do we run
No more, no more
I am no longer cute, you said
I am no longer small, you said
I am no longer fun, you said
And yet you never asked me
What I wanted
What I needed
You tore me from my mother
You took me from my home
I never asked for this
I never wanted this
I only wanted a slice of your love
A sliver of your home
A piece of your heart
But even that is too much for you
So now I sit
Growing older
So now I stay
Growing weaker
So now I lie
Growing lighter
All I ask
All I plead
All I want
Is that you look at me
Is that you smile at me
Is that you wave at me
I will not ask for more
I will not hope for more
I will not dream for more
One last time
Call me to you
Before I am gone
Show that you understand
Show that you know
Show that you care
For I Am Here…
Until I Am Here No More…
Thank you for listening.
