Soft eyes look back at me <br />Telling me without words <br />That I’ve let you down <br />We weren’t similar enough for you to matter <br /> <br />I remember the look <br />That I never thought would happen <br />On your simple face <br />Shadows cast over swelling eyes <br />Something I didn’t know you were capable of <br /> <br />But abandonment will never leave you <br />And as you sit in your cage <br />Curled up and afraid <br />I hope you remember why I picked you <br />In the first place<br /><br />Beckie Edwards<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/dot-2/
