Ash

I walk in the door, she begs for attention  
Its heartwarming but it fills me with tension    
   
Ive spent the whole day being on my own  
I suppose I get used to being alone    
   
Shes been alone too and shes happy Im here  
No matter where I rest she has to be near    
   
By my side is never quite good enough  
She nuzzles right in and shes kind of rough    
   
Forceful in the way she settles herself in  
With a look like "where the fuck have you been?"    
   
Sometimes it can be a little too much  
It conflicts with my aversion to touch    
   
She loves me so I do my best to tolerate  
As she forgives me for getting home so late    
   
I love her too just in my own way  
Its nice that someone misses me throughout the day    
   
So I stroke her head and rub her back  
We do our best to cut each other some slack    
   
Loyal to each other the way it should be  
Though I complain, Im glad shes here with me
