Claws

Betrayed I stand out on the deck

Pinned upon by psycho's net

Trust and love I offered free

But now I stand here like a tree 

There are no words, no curse too deep

To carry all the hate I keep

My back, it arches, my tail raised

He will not escape this night unscathed 

My flesh, gives way with each hard tug

But still I stand beside the rug

The door it opens, he comes to me

Expecting to pet my head, it seems

He crouches low, I hold my place

Until I'm even with his face

And then I leap, my claws spread wide

Releasing all the pain inside

I claw, I bite, I rake, I rage

Then bolt out out underneath the sage

I hear him scream, and curse my name

I know he'll never look the same

Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth

Justice served, and that's the truth.
