Chains

The first time my eyes opened, i saw your face
as i laid beside my siblings, close to mother's breasts,
your sweet scent i have never forgotten...
...and then, you carried me away from them.


To a far land you had taken me,
timely cuddles and kisses, hugs and caresses
a house away from home
a new family to love and call my own.


I smell your swift march in the morning
and cried when you left without a trace,
cant wait to see you again at sundown
to have your treats, to kiss your face


You sacrificed a lot, i know you did
even if you didnt say a word i sensed it,
i hate to see your sad lonely eyes
can i carry your burden and do your cries?
