I Know

You left me amid a pack of wolves,
snarling, baring their teeth...
closing in on me.
 
I know they'll tear me apart.

As the night grows darker, colder,
I hear their menacing howls,
and I realize I'm all alone.

I know tonight's my last night.

I search all around for you,
call to you for help,
all the while knowing you won't come.

I know you can't.

But, I fight back
I fight the wolves with all I've got,
and I emerged the winner.

Now, I know I'll live another night.

Your expressive words show that you too have this capability. // paul Login to Reply Angie Thomas Date: 5/17/2015 11:34:00 AM thank you so much for your constant support and feedback paul... it means a lot to me :)
