The Burial Of the She-wolf

She could feel her future oozing from him,
and she refused to look into his eyes
for she knew she would not be able to look away..
For the past and present haunted her..
But the future scared her
He stood strong against her currents..
She was tempted to raise her battle axe, just to watch him flinch..

so she hid..and wished away her happiness.
In trouble and hurt she found solace
in confusion she found peace
in battling the darkness she found order..
It was almost selfish, what she felt
Defending a non-existent wound..
She forgot that in pain there came strength

His offering of light made her scream with doubt
and the idea of needing someone other than herself made her shudder..
She did not want to have to carve out her heart as an offering..
She doubted his deserve.
So she buried herself in doubt..
Buried herself in her past present.
And watched them sing dirges to her..
Watched her clan fall apart.
