The Wolf's Watch
And here's another, after quite awhile. I'd still appreciate some feedback.
"Time is short,
And,
I know you're
Listening,
So,
I'll make this
Quick..."
The pain,
It still remained.
Much less than
The soul-crushing
Agony,
But still,
Present.
The great wolf lifted
His head from his
Contemplations.
"Yet again,
Left alone..."
He says,
Sighing,
Yet again.
The same,
Heavy,
Sigh as every time,
Before.
He lowers his head,
Again,
Looking back,
Again.
"Where...?
Where did it
All go
Wrong...?
Why am I
Always left
Alone...?"
He asks to the
Wind,
Caressing his body,
Like a lover of
Old,
A sad smile breaking
His old facade.
He tasted love,
Again,
And again it was...
Tainted.
A lie.
Albeit with good
Intentions,
A lie
Nevertheless.
But...
The pain didn't
Kill him,
As it had,
Before.
It just pierced
Him,
Reminded him that
It wasn't the end.
As much as he hated
To admit it,
He wasn't alone,
Either.
Friends,
Even painful ones,
Were there.
Scarce few,
But enough to push
Him on.
He no longer held
Any delusions.
He understood just
How painful it all
Can be.
How people
Worked.
That it wasn't the
End.
He picked his head
Up,
Lifting himself
From his vigil.
He shook off his
Doubts,
The fears of
Mistakes,
And looked forward,
Again.
He was ready for this,
This journey.
He was ready for the
Hardships,
The hurt,
The regret.
But most of all,
He was ready
for the
Happiness.
As he stepped
Forward,
Ready to continue on,
He returned to his
Thoughts,
Once more.
"You still there...?
Damn...
Well,
In that case..."
I'll see you on the other side.
