Puppies
--
And its funny, i felt so confident...
I am reminded of something i wrote quite some time ago..
....."And how quickly things will change, a subtle shotgun with a range of 100 thousand comments or more, and who’d have thought that the shirt I wore would turn its own cuffs on me? Jackets slinking from my closet and pants creeping to my knee, suffocating in a stylish sea. ... And so here we are, back to the start, with simple tools of superglue and paper hearts."
I'm not a hundred percent sure of the title at this moment. Today was rollercoaster.
If i am a puppy, and indeed i find it to be true, then i am the sad puppy that lies on the cold tile floor with its sad little puppy eyes gazing at the door. And every time there's a sound, its little puppy head tilts back and forth, ears perked up waiting for the sound that leads to the opening of the door... except it never comes, so i lay my head down again and keep listening.
My ears perked up tonight, but it wasn't because i thought someone wanted to play. I felt a burglar in my house and a growl mustering in my throat. A territorial yearn that no dog can ever truly deny, despite how well its been trained. I feel that my undeniable puppy loyalty was taken advantage of and met with an opposing force, one of my friends whose scent i know well, that was not loyal back. And my little puppy heart, being already cold on the tile waiting for the door to open, is sad and confused. Maybe a little puppy tear or sniffle.
Puppies are always loyal and dependable, even when they feel their little puppy hearts breaking. That is the good and bad of being one. I have all their strengths, but also weaknesses. Being a puppy means i will always forgive people, despite everything else. My little puppy tail will still wag a little when it sees them walk by, even if a piece of my little puppy brain says to run. Unfortunately, puppies and dogs take a lot of abuse before they ever really dislike anyone... all it takes is one little puppy treat to get us back.
Please... don't take advantage of my little puppy heart.
