felt in the mood to write a poem.. dunno if it sounds understandable.. anyway forgive me since i'm not a lit student n read it anyway...

Affection

he loved it so dearly
and cared for it with tender affection.
in the day he held it tightly in his arms and
in the night they played in his dreams;
it was as if he had found back a brother
whom had been lost at birth.

and he was in love with this dog
with an affection that strained beyond the mortal world,
a desire that penetrated into desperate wicked depths.
and the dog so loved never once disobeyed its master;
it never struggled when he grasped it too tightly in his chest,
nor did it squirm when thrown in a hot scalding bath.

it was a gruesome affection;
one that transformed envy to horror,
that turned old friends away in disgust
and drove parents to suicide.
this deformed affection that sprouted
from the day he first found the dead dog in his garden.
