The Black Dog
He’s yours
I can see him though
he’s not near me
He’s with you
Watching you
Your connection’s strong
Not as strong as what we had
But stronger than us now
He has more of you than I have now
Constantly between us
Stopping me from touching you
From you holding me
From us feeling each other like we used to
You don’t want him
And I want you
Rid of him
But he wont go
He’s picked you
doing everything he can
To make your relationship stronger
Wants to make it harder for you to find a way to leave him
You’ve tried running
-He always catches up
You’ve tried hiding
-He always finds you
You’ve tried imagining he’s not there
In the hope he’ll disappear
-He’s not left yet
But I know he will
and I’ve got that over him
If only I can make you see
he wont be around forever
that I see a future
with him not in it
then you’d have it too
that ‘one over him’
I can see him
And you don’t want me to
you want to get rid of him secretly
Singularly
But do you know how?
I know I don’t
But I want to help
because I can see your connection getting stronger
He’s trying to make it harder
for you to find a way to leave him
You mustn't try and do this alone
He’s so strong
And so persistent
But however much he wants you
Know that I’ll always want you more.
He’ll never have you fully
Not like how we have each other
Will have each other once he’s gone
He’s a beast though
So be careful
Arm yourself with all the stuff
All the stuff that make it possible
For you to go out there and kill him
You’re a warrior
You’re a soldier
You’re someone who wants to love
So get your armour from the experts
Get your weapons from those who know
Those who’ve helped others defeat him
Him: The Black Dog.
