Free verse № 159581
puppy love
I'm a big puppy
I learned to take food from your hand
A problematic little puppy
The Awkward runt
I feel so terrible
So sick inside, disappointed, betrayed
Laying alone
I trusted you, took food from your hand
Now I wonder, has it turned or always been
Poison?
You chose me, took me in
Made me feel so safe
Gave me a chance
When most saw no opportunity
I feel so terrible
So sick inside, disappointed, betrayed
Laying alone
I trusted you, took food from your hand
Now I wonder, has it turned or always been
Poison?
My eyes were sad
My legs were shaking
So small and weak
Yet a will to keep going
I feel so terrible
So sick inside, disappointed, betrayed
Laying alone
I trusted you, took food from your hand
Now I wonder, has it turned or always been
Poison?
Funny puppy, silly puppy
Learned how to stand
Legs strong, getting independent
Still attached, taking food from your hand
So tell me now I'm lying here
I feel like I'm dieing
I trusted you I always needed you
Now I'm alone, I can't find you
Did you poison me, leave me to die alone?
Did you abandon me as the rest of the world has?

in the first stanza, I think it should say "an awkward little runt" because in that stanza you are talking about yourself in 1st and 3rd person, and saying "The awkward little runt" sounds like another voice is saying it.
