I am sorry that I scared you, Sir
It was not my intent
I'm just looking for my family, Sir
I do not know where they went
Have you seen my family, Sir?
Do you know where they are?
I am just a young pup, Sir
On my own I won't get far
What is that you're holding, Sir?
Can it help me find my parents?
I don't want to hurt you, Sir
Have you no forbearance?
What about my brother, Sir?
And the way we used to dance?
I could not fight you, Sir
I never stood a chance
I do not understand, Sir
I am but an errant youth
Why would you do this, Sir?
Please tell me the truth
How was I to know it, Sir?
That I had gone too far?
I can't see the borders, Sir
I don't know where they are
I would never hurt you, Sir
Why are you still lying?
My young life is now fading, Sir
And now I lay here dying
But I can't help but wonder, Sir
What did I possibly do wrong?
You came into my home, Sir
Somewhere you did not belong
I can see my mother, Sir
She is in the sky up ahead
I thought about staying, Sir
But I think I'll go instead
I'm sorry that I scared you, Sir
It was not my intent
But now I know the secret, Sir
You do know where they went
This poem represents a hunter killing a young wolf because he was afraid. I wrote it to help fight wolf hunting, if even by only a little.
Whisper, wolf
Cry as you first open your eyes
As you see the world for the very first time
The world breathes to you
It welcomes you in
Whisper, baby wolf

Whisper, wolf
Fumble and fall through your youth
Shoot for the stars with your eyes
Energy as of the stars
A soul made of sunlight
Whisper, young wolf

Whisper, wolf
Changes are coming for your world
Feel your paws start to ache and grow
Confusion of the world around you
It seems to breathe a different way
Whisper, growing wolf

Whisper, wolf
You've grown through your troubles
Though their echoes torment you so
She looks at you differently now
And you are so misunderstood
Whisper, adolescent wolf

Whisper, wolf
Walk through the chapters
Howl softly to the night
Lay your head beside her
As you dream and wander ever still
Whisper, lost wolf

Whisper, wolf
Trust was not always there
Some wolves were made to run
More beautiful things await you
Though the pain blinds you so
Whisper, heartbroken wolf

Whisper, wolf
Speak softly to the world
You see a familiar face today
Though it is not your own
You look to their soul
Whisper, father wolf

Whisper, wolf
They grow as they follow
As they are led through the night
Guidance is provided where it once was empty
The pack is stronger now
Whisper, proud wolf

Whisper, wolf
For today is the day of farewells
You wonder if your efforts were enough
The moon seems to look to you
And it looks to say that it loves you
Whisper, sad, sad wolf

Whisper, wolf
That old pain comes back again
She's in a better place now
You feel lost in the woods again
Though you know you are not alone
Whisper, crying wolf

Whisper, wolf
Your pack gathers around you
For today is the day of your final goodbye
Though it is not you crying this day
You rejoice for the opportunity
Whisper, dying wolf

Whisper, wolf
For you are home now
Your troubles are finally behind you
You are with her again
The cubs grow in the steps of your paws
Whisper, sleeping wolf
You left me to rot in a dark, cold place
There were cuts on my arm, and tears on my face
I believed every lie that you ever said
And I believed, that I'd be better off dead
But now I know, from talking to my shadow
You were a liar; a thief among the callow

All the cuts and bruises on my heart
I sat there bleeding and falling apart
Waiting under the cold, rainy weather
Looking for someone to stitch me back together
Now that seems so long ago, so very far away
I've come so far, to get where I am today
I let go of the past and embraced the pressure
I've finally stitched myself back together
The heat of our passion could reach the skies
Diving into the depths of your beautiful eyes
Moving between the worlds together
I will be yours forever
They always move to higher ground
While you and I stay lost in the sound
A flood delivered to my door
My heart and mind fought at war
Saving grace came just in time
I can't believe you're really mine
Worlds around us falling apart
All that matters is our fixed hearts
A kiss on your lips so soft and sweet
Our love burning through the sheets
You and me lost loving in it all
Making our own heat in the coolness of fall
For every heartbeat, for every single kiss
Your passion and heart loving me like this
We'll love all night just like it's a sin
Then in the morning we'll wake up do it all again
You and me forever after
Speaking our minds and dying of laughter
The heat of our passion could reach the skies
Diving into the depths of your beautiful eyes
Moving between the worlds together
I will be yours forever
She's made of diamonds but breaks like paper
All because it seems like everyone hates her
She picks up the pen and she writes on her skin
A language that she'll have to hide again
Nobody knows it and it doesn't show
Her teachers and family wonder, though
A girl so pretty with eyes so wide
Still feels so much pain inside
She dresses up those pearly white teeth
While nobody sees the pain underneath
Lost in the sounds of falling apart
Silently dying from a broken heart
Her long sleeves cover that scarred up page
No one should feel that at such a young age
She takes a deep breath and rolls up her sleeve
She bares her heart on the paper aggrieve
This poem is to promote awareness for self-harm. Please, if you or anyone you know is struggling, fight it. Find a way to get help. There is help out there, and they won't judge you; they won't treat you different. You have to stop sometime. Everyone is beautiful in their own way. Life is a song - don't walk away in the middle of it.
Through every snow and every flame
I always hear you call my name
In the shadows of what's left
You stole my heart, they call it theft
For every soul and every tear
I love you without a fear
In the ocean or in the sky
I will watch you swim or fly
Let not go your sweet, sweet heart
Thus I shall love thy every part
Through the storm and in the rain
You always calmed my pain
Though the world may seem so cold
And thunder strikes as days grow old
Tornadoes swirl and send us far
I always know right where you are
Miles and distance mean not a thing
Although you are caged, I hear you sing
No bird in hand, nor rose in garden
Shall match the fruit of true love's bargain
Of your sweet oranges I have touched
And from your love, I've grown so much
My heart was lost in time and space
But then the tears fell from your face
I was lost and now I'm found
Of your love I was once crowned
Passion blooms in the strangest places
But back and forth, my love still paces
I walk the floor and shan't let go
For you are the best I shall ever know
In your eyes there lies the stars
They lead me back to where you are
Prayers transcend with help divine
I remember when you were mine
