"Faithful dog"

Why? Why? Why?

Why did you leave me?

You said we'd be together forever.

You promised.

You told me that'd you come to me.

You'd finish the war in one piece

You are a liar.

You left me alone,

You left me as a mess,

I wish we'd never met.

I mean I'd never learn what love meant

Why did those have to be your last words? 

"I love you."

I still have the pendent,

the one you gave to me

with the color of your eyes.

You smiled when I mentioned the comparison. 

I have never seen you with that smile. 

Some time later, 

I lost my arms for you

I was your faithful "dog" 

that's what they called me

I did not mind a single bit

You said that you loved me

someone like me. 

I miss you.

I need you to tell me,

what those words mean.

I felt something in my chest.

I went from a dog to a doll

with auto-mechanic arms.

I lost them at war. 

I was taken by your subordinate,

to live a different life,

I waited so faithfully.

Where are you? 

Now I live my life writing, 

love letters for others.

All of this is in hope

may I find meaning behind

your last three words 

"I love you." 

I was told that you were recuperating, 

I hope that's going well. 

But you've taken an awfully long time, lieutenant. 

I am waiting ready at your command, 

to be once again your faithful dog.
