Song to a pet


(Melody: Meeting by Mercedes Lackey)

This one has seen you from a distance, playing pet to everyone,
and she fears it if you realize one day what they have done.
For your self is slowly fading, till you will be nothing more,
then an animal, a nothing, just a tool at your own core.

And this one, she can remember how she tried to keep her soul,
just like you seen as a pet she could not keep her own self whole..
And she tried to tell you softly what she needed in your place,
that you're human, and important, and she stroked your hair and face.

But you do not want to listen, are you maybe just afraid?
Or have you already started to believe the things they said?
And my anger just confused you, but it was not meant for you,
but for all the heartless people who a thing like this would do...?

So I leave you your decisions, as I had been left to mine,
and I see in people's eyes the warmth for you still softly shine..
So I hope that you'll have more luck and be happy with your fate,
so you will not feel like this one to yourself a lasting hate..
Vaya
