Flesh Baby

 You, hooman, 

Can they serve your needs?

Are you a good pair?

Can they really be yours?

 

When you choose them,

Will they join up?

 

When you're excited,

Will you let them join in?


When you’re down,

Will they know how to cheer you up?

 

When you need help,

Will you allow them to act?


You, hooman,

Do you trust them to love you back?

A-Stray

Oh four-limbed friend,

 

Do you dare let them take you in?

Do you dare give them your spirit?

Do you dare trust them with your soul?

 

When you badger them for attention,

Will they know when to give?

And when to distract?

 

When you roll in the dirt,

Will they clean you up?

Will they continue to nurture your play?

 

When they see your tail between your legs,

Will they know what that means?

Will they know what you need?

 

Oh four-limbed friend,

Do you dare trust Love?
