Death and the black dog

Member since 2002 · Posted 22 Nov 2007 · 1 comment

a black dog followed me when i stopped it sat whimpering. I lost it by my house it found me by a grave whimpering. A black dog barked at me foaming omens where she stood holding me. A black dog lay with me I lost it with hope it gnarls in its sleep but i have awoken to blurred parents whimpering.
