Lone Wolf

THE LONE WOLF I stood alone, amidst the trees completely Lonely. The chill bitter wind was of no help, It blew cold stones. I wondered what was worse than these, Life without family? Or perhaps i was wrong? Left forsaken on an island surrounded by brackish waters? My eyes closed and opened and closed even yet as they opened. The gloomy gray white clouds wept, shedding drops of rain. I stretched my fore-paw to feel the rain, it got blew off. I stared horror stricken at the severed arm but felt no sting or pain. I was numb stricken, I was without my beating heart. The warmth of memories of love escaped my brain. This was pain beyond the cure of my endorphines. I looked at the emptiness within me, what was Amiss? I was like a floating island no one likes. I crashed against one rock or the other an island with false roots. Deep in me, I knew I was like a flower, A bennihana. I was alone, wandering from line to trap and finally to Doom. I was a Lone Wolf it's pack.
