I saw your face. Not twice, but once
I turned and scrambled from the hunt
I was your prey. A gaping maw
Closed upon submarine hull

Metal creaked and cracked and bent
As slowly teeth began to rend
What little hope was left inside
To drown again in depths defied

Terror struck. It struck again
Spirits walking down the glen
In seconds split I broke in two
While scattered with the morning dew

I ran and ran from the hunter's eyes
While seeking out the hunted's prize
I stopped and weary, caught my breath
To be embraced by soulless death.
