"Self-Degradation"

Folder: 
For All My Exes

"Good girl." you say.

"You're behaving as you ought to."

And I lap up the attention

like a sick little puppy

craving attention from its master.

How pitiful of me

to act this way.

How shameful to behave

in this self-degrading manner.

Yet I still follow you around,

drooling over you,

begging for another pat on the head.

Idiocy is what it is.

But I can't help myself.

I sit pretty,

ears perked up waiting to hear

your voice saying

"Atta girl. I think I can love you now."

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I wrote this one when I was still dating the father of my son.
