Dog

 
Every night I walk into my house

He attacks me

With his fearless paws

And those fierce teeth

He scratches my flesh

And he barks vulgar words

I see wickedness in his eyes

And when he’s done

Trampling on my lifeless body

He sticks out his tongue

To show victory

This is rather a weakness

And I am there

Bare

Crying

Tears flow down my cheeks

And I rise

And in my bed

He’s there too

I married an animal

My husband behaves

Just like a Dog.
