    Black Dog

    Black Dog

     

    I am the black dog

    cream of the crop

    lapping up pieces,

    pieces of love you drop

    I am the black sheep

    the nightmare of your dreams

    When you try to sleep...

    counting the others,

    you forget about me

    I am the black cat

    hiding in the dark

    You can't see me

    and the darkness of my heart

    I'm the stranger inside you

    hiding in your soul

    You don't know me

    you're too blind and cold

    I live in the hidden corners

    you can never be free

    I am the black dog

    that's inside of you

    I am the black dog

    that's inside of me

    I'm the stranger inside you hiding in your soul You don't know me you're too blind and cold what a perfect depiction of how people are unable to realize that what they are cold to is a part of them. I love this

    In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before. But in poetry, it's the exact opposite.

    Franz Kafka (1883-1924) Czech writer.
