I

Winter

It's cold and mostly dark
Nowhere is safe to be alone, the brave embark
The cold wind whistles through the dark forest
She used to keep me warm
Now it's just that small fire that's dancing in the storm
She used to have my back
Now it's a dead dry and cold log that has my back
She used to wipe my tears
Now they are frozen in the cold with prayers
She used to hold my hands
Now they are just empty clog between the fingers on my hand
She used to be loyal
But I didn't learn loyalty from humans
I learnt it from wolves
Wolves are not and so was I, not royal
And I understand she's only human and from a royal blood, hitting an iceberg with her crewmen
But I'm as loyal as a wolf, and I stay with the wolves
It's cold and dark but the lone wolf has and will always survive...
