Her four paws
could conquer Everest.
Yet your two feet
continue to stagger,
tripping over our love,
As if your desires stumble unsurely.
Her brown eyes
Emote a tender love.
Yet your shiny blues,
reflect less than nothing,
gazing critically at others
As if their weakness offends you
Her demeanour
Conveys contentment.
Yet your stolidity.
Viewed negatively by most
Considered stoically positive,
As if indifference strengthens you
Her tenderness
Offers warmth of heart
Yet your previous suppleness
Has hardened and turned cold
Brittle, and broken by the fall
As if your intention was to destroy our love
