Thread: Black Dog

Walking home one night
I saw an awful shadow
Walking home one night
I stopped and stared in fright.

There on the corner
a dog with a grin
there on the cormer
A dog come for my sin.

I knew who it was
nothing less than grimm
I knew what it wanted
For me to know what it did.

It fadded in the light
and later on that night
I looked out the window
And I saw that awful shadow.

It had a torn old ear
and a croked left eye
I battle scare remained
And i wondered why?

Why whould he come for me?
In the prime of life?
Why would he ask for me
To give him my unworthy life?

I walked out the door
and rite up to him
I looked at that awful grin
and I just had to asked him:

What do you come for?
What do you want?
I plead to you
Not to take this life!

He lost that awful grin
He turned to me and sayed:

It is time to return to the one within
It is time to come back to the one with no sin
don't make me cry
I ask of you.
Why can't I die?
I envy you
the one who must come
I want to be the one with the sad end.

With that he howled and others joined in
With that he howled and I felt peace within.

The soul was free
The anguish releaved
I feld myself drift away
to a land that I would not leave.

He walk beside me
I walked beside him
We walked together
and I felt for him.

Unable to die
unable to live.

I realize how he wanted
to feel this peace within.

We reached the end
To another beggining
We walked to the end
To start a new life worth living.

Godbye to you.
the one I must say sorry to
I might have given you a chance
but you had to start anew.
