Who Is The Dog?

Tonight, there will be
One more man tolerating a nagging wife
One more woman tolerating an abusive husband

Both of those people 
Will be dying inside
Both of those people
Have plenty of places to hide

Yet they chose to stay
They chose to endure
Pain

Not a word you can say
Will enlighten them to their misery
There are those who claim
They like it that way

The eyes of those on the outside
Only see chaos
They do not understand the desolation

That comes from being left alone
