Lone Wolf

Lone Wolf

A Poem by Lone Wolf
"

Of the ones I loved, those I erase. It's a new start, a new way.

"

Perhaps darkness is still daylight,

And the sky is not yet night.

But don't let it fool you,

My heart has taken flight.

 

To where it's flown, no one knows.

It's hiding in the stars, yet at my toes.

Perhaps green has not yet turned to gray.

Perhaps the lone wolf hasn't yet strayed.

 

I used to give out my heart.

But the ones I thought I loved took it apart.

I took it back, away from them.

But my world was shattered, with tears it blends.

 

I became a lone wolf, trapped inside a cage.

And there is no heat in my anger.

 Only coldness fueling my rage.

I separated from all of them, went a different way.

 

The moon is harsh, it shows no heat.

But harshness is nothing, I come to sleep.

In that blackness a chasm opens up.

Putting that void between me and the ones I had loved.

 

My heart is still broken, pushed to cracks.

I keep it to me, in my own place.

Of the ones I loved, those I erase.

It's a new start, a new way.

 

The howl that comes from deep within me

Is a song of pure silver, a song of grief.

But with grief comes anger, and with anger comes tears

They think my song is beautiful, but it's one I can never bear.

 

The wind is mourning, the rain does cry.

But I have hidden my heart, it stays dry.

Never again, never again,

Shall it touch the hands of those cruel friends.

 

Few can make it past that jagged hole,

The one that guards my heart against mice and voles.

However, the ones who really do,

Sees what is pure, and what shall stay true.

 

A part of me stays with that outside world,

Being that rope I had unconsciously hurled.

Am I glad? Disappointed? That my old life shall stay?

When I have hidden my heart away?

 

No, don't go back. I can't bear the pain.

Those who betray, it's their gain.

It's the morning, the start of day.

And I make my choice, and continue on my way.

 

The snow has fallen, and the world is pure.

But I know now, every shadow hides a lure.

Now I am no fool, I find my own hope.

In all that terrible beauty, I am the lone wolf.

A powerful piece. One that I can relate to from moments and memories of my past. I know the flavor of the lone wolf tune and knew that cage long ago. I learned that I never regreted being a lone wolf type, but the cages had to go. I think the pain went away after I learned I could go numb by shear strength of will and still be able to function. But those days a adrift and while I may feel the lone wolf in my blood, it's howl is more a sweet rememberence of a younger days adventures.

A wonderful piece of poetry that sparks many emotions and thoughts.
Thank you for your skill and sharing such a smooth flowing piece.
