Bound To Loyalty

Like a dog on a tight leash

bound to its master,

I have spun around the tiny room

that I am constrained to.

Only now I have realised

that I have been chained,

after seeing you paralysed

when you got coiled

by the leash you put around my neck.

I wonder to myself

how this happened to be.

You cannot bear

a day without my presence,

and like a devoted dog

I feel blessed that you dread

the idea of losing me.

Feel assured when I say,

I recognise your scent from miles away.
If either of us ever got lost

in a sea of crowds,

I promise to follow the trail

until I am by your side again.
