The Weird Dog
I gave my soul to the weird dog,
the weird dog comes at night: he
walks into my pictures, and takes
my eyes so bright
He walks the house at midnight, his
toothy shadow spills, onto my bed
when fast asleep, then sniffs my curls
and frills
He plants his paws upon me, I
struggle to be free, then drinks my
breath out from me, with eyes I
cannot see
Oh someone please come help me
and rescue me from death, I fear for
my poor soul, when smell the weird
dog’s breath
And should you hear him coming, and
ask me what to do, I’ll tell you there
is nothing; condemned to hell are you
