A Genuine Peach

eyedclaar

For a dozen years now
She has accepted my
Swinging mood
And violent outbursts
With good humor
All the while
Digging in the claws
And refusing to let my anger
Dislodge her commitment

Ears pinned back
Eyes clouded in heartache
She forces her way
On to my lap
Over and over again
Never fleeing
The rough handling
Or my desire to stew alone

Hurt me if you must
Dad
She tells me
I will keep coming back
Until you accept
This uncompromising love

See
I saved her life once
And she will never forget that
Just as I
Won’t be able to forgive
All those moments
I may have caused
Her to doubt
Moments I know
I’ll be desperate to live over
Once she is
Finally and forever taken
From my shaking hands

the wolf

I like this one a lot eyed.

I can relate.

Thanks gang. Somewhat bittersweet, I guess. It made me sad to write it. Sometimes I'm a jerk. I know that must be hard to believe...

As well you should. I went home after writing this and hugged my cat. She's my longest tenured friend at this point.
