Bitten
Nothing new, I’m a sucker for love
Chump for a cute guy…no matter his age…or mine
I guess it started as a child needing affection from anything that moved
Dog, cat…a boy. That’s the trouble.
I love strays
To help them, but I need them too.
As a teenager I was attracted to the strong ones,
Seeking a type of protection?
Affection?
A downfall of course. Anyone too needy always finds the ones they shouldn’t.
Is it written all over my face when I greet them?
The old saying “once bitten, twice shy” never made sense to me.
I must savor the agony.
