Human

Treat me as your equal
the dog sleeps outside
not me
 don't look away
don't become deaf to my plea
we walk together
I'm not the one who chases the stick
 Remember me
the human
the one you pledged to love
my death has not come
why do you treat me so cold
 love is only a word
one that has lost its meaning
its value has moved on
