Following my steps closely,
panting deeply exhaled breaths,
glowing eyes watch my
every move,i see
it out of the
corner of my eye.
Some days it is
nowhere to be seen,
always it returns back,
haunting me,stalking me.
This dark depression demon
cannot be shaken off,
my life constantly darkened,
setting neat footprints into
the winter snow of
my soul,doggedly following.

music was my refuge.i could crawl into the spaces between the notes and curl my back to loneliness - Maya Angelou

Your analogy is quite good and your poetry is excellent reading, as always.

Maybe the dog just wants some attention.

You've written so well the sense of always being followed, never knowing when an attack may come!!
