Cerberus And The Bitch That I Loved (A Love Story)

Cerberus And The Bitch That I Loved (A Love Story)



I’m the hell-bound puppy
Forever doomed to lay at your heels
I’ve got to get away.

The collar you own is so painful to wear
Why do I put it on of my own accord?
You jerk the leash so tight,
Smiling as you look down,
Your teeth so bright.
Why can’t I see the signs
This is not part of my grand design
You’re the owner I cannot be with,
I’ve got to get away.

I’m the soft one with a heart
Pierced by you and chained to a post
I’ve got to run away and hide.

I can hear you calling me
On the inside seeking me
There are things about you I love
But you will hurt me
Again and again
And that’s not love.
I’ve got to stay away.

Your bright lights blind,
Deer on the highway
Or moth to a flame,
You shine so bright
But bring such pain.
You’re the bitch of Hades
And you want me for your whelp,
A play-toy of your own, far
Beyond any kind of help.
I’ve got to run away.

Scared on my own,
Panting, sobbing, being
Alone.
No food, no love,
No one to be with.
No one to cause me pain,
No one to put me into chains.
Freedom is my salvation.
You’re the dog in heat
Thinking I’m your Cerberus,
Your multi-headed indecisive prisoner.
So I’ve got to get away.

Once I’m me, that means
I’ve got away,
Far away,
Far enough to just be me again.
