You told me this would all be gone soon

You told me this was just going to last a moment

Well, it didn’t.

This has been going on for what feels like forever

This never ending sickness swallowing us

The only light is a small torch that gets brighter every day

The darkness has shrunk, but we are still here

You told me that this would be over soon.

You told me lies

Walking into a world so unlike my own

Birds singing, squirrels balancing on tree tops to grab nuts for their family

Life everywhere

I do not blend in with this life, this growth, my sad gray fur, my lonely howl

I am wolf
