When the night breeze turned into a gentle zephyr,
and when the anvil lost its heat..
I held my lantern high up,
and walked on the rails towards the yard..
I could hear sounds of sniffing..
A crippled dog, black as the night..
Blood oozing out of his nostrils,
as he swore to tear me apart..
I stood my ground, feet felt damp..
He could've chosen to slaughter my face,
but he waited, I felt his wrath..
He barely could stand, but his claws shone..
He neared me, my feet wouldn't move..
I trusted the night, it would pass,
I prayed to the stars, my feet dropped dead..
I could hear my mum's sweet lullaby..
Leave me be.. my Fear spoke to him..
My eyes froze, I felt his breath..
His face got closer,
as he whispered his dinner prayer..
I still hoped to live,
until I saw his decayed tail..
It stood like a mighty sword,
Askin me to pray to my Lord..
He slowly slid his claws through my chest,
My mouth gushed thick blood..
I sunk into my own sweat..
He had a wry smile,
I was the end for his ennui that night..
it was the end of my own..
Within twelve waking moments,
Ended my four lettered Life...
