Black Bear

Do you wanna keep me as your pet?

Free my mind of opinions

Leave a leash by the door

And keep a bowl on the floor

I could be so sweet

I can't bite if I'm asleep

We could just kiss and reminisce

Before the darkness settles in

Then throw me out like a piece of trash

You forgot to part with

Oh, what's more disturbing than this?

To be knowingly ominous

To be a nightmare promised

To be a black bear

And violent

I come to get my stuff

All your lovers give me a hug

They wanna comb my hair

And help me pack up my underwear

I don't say, "Leave me alone"

I don't ask them to take me home

I pick up what you've thrown

And start to write this poem

Oh, what's more disturbing than this?

To be knowingly ominous

To be a nightmare promised

To be a black bear

And violent
