This is a letter of apology.

Though it is long

Overdue,

I want you to know that

I apologise.

Like a loyal dog,

you have never let me down-

I apologise.

Though I abuse you,

Call you names

Starve you

Stuff you

Cut you

Still, you have never let me down.

I apologise.

 

Can we start over,

You and I?

Is there a new way

To behave?

Can I care for you?

Can I treat you with respect?

You are blameless in this;

You have never let me down.

I apologise.

 

A new pledge and promise,

And I will be

Immaculate in my word-

I will stop the abuse.

I will cease to loathe you.

I will even like you.

I will even love you

(though that may take longer

please be patient);

I will lavish you with care

And appreciation.

I will give you the

Nourishment

Thanks

Respect

You deserve.

I apologise.

 

My

Beautiful

Loyal

Amazing

body.
