Look into My Eyes

Look into my eyes
and you値l see me looking back,
a being full of feelings,
emotions,
and of thoughts.
Show me love and care,
and you値l see me looking back,
happy and very grateful,
with love
reflecting back.
Show me hurt and hate,
and you値l see me looking back,
injured and disheartened
from the pain of your attack
Look into my eyes,
and you値l see my soul beneath,
so much more than fur and flesh,
paws, and teeth.
Before you think to harm me,
take a look into my eyes.
How can you hurt a being
who can love
and who can cry?
Look into my eyes
and you値l see me looking back.
