(if we were both dogs in a shelter
i'd be a black and white mutt
aged and weary with a lazy right eye
and you'd be a labrador puppy
already housetrained and good with kids
and you'll soon go to a friendly, loving home
while i'll be fated to a life sentence here.
i'd look out hopefully
at the families passing through
and give them all my cutest stares
but i know that it won't be enough
because i know that my best couldn't hold a candle to yours.
and the hardest part of all of this
is that i can't even have the satisfaction
of being angry and upset and pissed off at you
because i know it won't do me any good
and deep down inside of me
i'm happy for you.)
