Black Shuck

Look at it three times in the eyes, you will die.

Fur black as the night sky.

Eyes red as bright red blood.

Walking on all fours wandering around the grave.

I only looked at him once to see what it looks like.

He was ths scariest I've ever seen.

Don't look at him! You'll die!

My friends out warn.

I would hear the howls of the daemon dog.

That daemon dog, is a black shuck.

Hiding in the shadows of the night.

Seeking its prey.

Silently telling us to look three times.

I look at a second time.

Wondering, how I would time.

When I look at him the third and final time.

I go down to the gravyard,

On a cliff above the ocean blue.

I pay my respects for the fallen.

I turn around to see the dog.

I was about to close my eyes but it was too late.

I looked at it for the third and final time.

My eyes rolled back,

My head titled back,

I breathed my last,

And fell into the ocean blue.

Dead and gone.
