Black Dog

You are a noose Not letting me breathe Like a soundproof room The thoughts locked inside my head You are a mask of joy Hiding my fear behind your crooked smile Like the coming winter, you creep in slowly And fill me with a deep-seated chill Frozen in the cold I wait for Spring to thaw my bones
