Black Dog

I can't get over it
this feeling that consumes me
it eats my soul bit by bit
No one else can see.

I don't sleep well at night
It gets angry now
I beg with all my might
that it would understand somehow.

But it refuses to hear
and it punctures my soul.
Despite my many tears
it leaves a bleeding hole.

As I search for my escape
I hope I can reshape
But it renders me weak
And won’t allow me to seek.

The Black Dog bites’
My tears fall in vain.
No relief in sight,
Only grief and pain.
  
I'd tell it how much this hurts
if I could only speak
as my happiness reverts
I stay humble and meek.

I feel myself sway,
my scent a disease
so, who here would answer
my most desperate pleas.

What does it matter
my life here on earth.
All it ever does is shatter,
after every rebirth.

Forgotten, I give up hope
letting my life go
it ties me up by rope
And stabs my soul.

Life apprehended  
  Sanity suspended
