I always knew that cats weren’t as loyal as dogs,
But I always thought you wouldn’t be like them,
You’d curl up in my lap just like she once did,
And I’d never question your claws sinking in,
I deserved it, didn’t I?
For reaching for warmth as I froze in your cold silence,
For stepping on your soft, delicate tail, like you said I did,
For not hiding the little scars you left behind in the name of love,
For not being yours and completely yours…
I know you own me.
You’d blink slow every night, eyes gleaming with what I thought was love,
I thought the flowers you bought me would live forever, like you told me,
But they never wilted because they were always fake from the start,
I kept them in water regardless, hoping that they’d bloom into something real,
But were we not already real?
