The house seems warm inviting
The sound of laughter echoes
And outside in the yard the lonely mutt weeps..

It’s freezing cold and rainy
The scraps of food do nothing
And from the chain that binds him
The wounds are just too deep.

It’s been so long since master took him and threw him in the yard
He chained him to the pole outside and said “This must suffice!”
But that which hurts the most
Is that which used to be

The warmth, the love, the tenderness
Whatever did go wrong?
Unholy mutilation, the only way out
Must chew his own leg free
And bleed to death or run..

How can one bare the pure contempt into a loved one’s eyes?
“You filthy mutt! You bastard! You‘re not what I thought you’d be!
How much you’ve disappointed me and it’s all your fault you see…
You never can guess what I desire and you look at me with your needy eyes
I’m bored and sick and tired but you always will be MINE!
You’ll live outside and you WILL be happy
Cause still from time to time
A pat on the head and a few leftovers must surely fill your heart!”

Well…..not tonight! And not forever! The pain is just too much!
The three legged dog though scarred for life decided to save his heart!
