My Crime?
My love for you was true
My loyalty only for you
In you I put my trust
Dependancy on you was a must
And yet you cast me aside
Without a glance, away I watched you stride
Why did you leave me behind
I thought you'd always been kind
Did I grow too big?
Too many holes did I dig?
Did I take too much time?
Did I cost you your last dime?
Was my fur too long to comb?
Or too much did I roam?
All I ever asked of you
Was that you feed me and love me too
Did I ask for too much?
All I really wanted was a loving touch
Yet, here I am wishing for
Just a chance in an open door
Hoping I'll be the one someone wants to adopt
Since this shelter is where I was dropped.
