As I End My Words Part 1 Poem by joel gregory

The woods seem darker, nights seem longer.
Wolves are howling, baring and growling.
As I run without a look back,
Tears stain my face, the salty drops of glassy blood.

They pain but never leave a stain.
As I left her for the dead.
These six lines blared in my head,
'You gory in human selfish marauder,
Left your kin to save your skin!
Her cry will never let you die…
Her screams will never let you dream,
You cant die and you cant dream,
All your life a nightmarish scream! ! ! ! '
Then came sorrow, oh the sadness,
When I realized all the bad,
I enclosed with the seal of good…
All the desperation,
I covered with perspiration…
I reflected upon my life's worth as I ran,
All I saw was her frightened screams and shattered dreams..
As I betrayed her, as I ran from those wolves,
I deflected each blow of those savage creatures.
I could stop the external pain … but not the internal one.
It bled it wouldn't stop.
All I could see,
Was that sorrowful smile on her face,
As she told me what I had expected,
Three letters of three expressions…
Bliss, sorrow and fear,
Three signs in those hidden tears..
'run' she said smiling through anguished sobs.
Cowardice, bravery; joy and sorrow in just that one word…
Then I never got the chance to realize,
With quivering hands I held the sword,
Tears of joy and smile of sorrow…
As emotion played with me,
I stood to do right my biggest wrong,
The wolves approached with their howling song.
