suspicion ~ blue phoenix

an ugly
ever-present black cloud
smothers & crushes her
like an angry crowd
dulls her eyes
slays her song
fills her with shame
though she’s done no wrong
once more pain
invades her chest
as sorrowful thoughts
disturb her rest
around her dance the demons
of doubt & fear
& once again
the black dog draws near
