Soul of the Moon

Lying in the darkness
When my mind
Is flooded to the rim;
Numb...
To the point when
It creates another crack
In my already been
Broken soul

I sit there,
Arms wrapped
Around knees
Drawn up
Against my chest

Something light flows
Against my arm,
Send the hairs straight up
As chills race in my bones
Whilst my thoughts gather
Who or what it was...

There's a low growl
Before a soft, kind howl
Gives light to a room
Still shadowed
In my own
Despair

One arm reaches out
To pull its fingers
Through the soft fur
Of my best friend
    My only friend...

Across the room,
Curtains flutter
Allowing the full moon
Outside the window
To put glimmers
In this abyss of room

After seconds of admiration,
I turned my thoughts back
And realized that
The one who once filled the cracks
Of my falling apart soul
Was now gone,
As he was
Before...

Yet, howls echoed
As the moon outside
Seemed to shine brighter,
And the leaves of the trees beneath
Shook lightly as a new pack
Ran for the hills beyond

And I knew
With my heart,
He was free -
Running happily
Whilst loving me
As I missed him
