Mans best friend

by sezz   Sep 27, 2006


I look up at you
With sad pleading eyes
What did I do wrong?
Can't you hear my cries?
I've no power to stop you
You see I have no hands
The kicking will never stop
I just don’t understand.
Please explain it to me
Why I'm suffering so
Is it you don't want me anymore?
Do you want me to go?
I don't talk back
I don't treat you bad
So why is it that
You try to make me sad?
I've never bitten back
I cower when you're near
I'm so scared all the time
Why do I live in fear?
I get thrown outside at night
But I have no bed to sleep
Most nights I am shivering
Yet I make no peep.
I learnt my lesson long ago
Not to muck around
And whenever you hurt me
Not to make a sound.
I try my best to make you happy
To make you love me more
I cant take much more of this
My head, my heart is sore.
I get fed only twice a week
Water on day three
What more is there for me to do?
I don't know why you hate me.
I run away to escape your pain
But I always end up caught
And I know one-day you'll kill me
With not once me having fought.
Everytime you bash me
I think is this the end?
This world of torture is all I know
What happened to man's Best Friend?
