Tortured 

 

 

Left a mark on my upper arm

but look—

that dog was tortured

five years by people

 

People do way worse

for no particular reason.

 

He left his bite on me.

Shallow it drew

scarce blood.  

After I scolded him verbally

he hung his tired head.

 

It never happened again.

I think he wanted to own me

now I'm his bitch.
