# We walk

My paws ache, and yet I must walk

Cries going unanswered, my voice dying in the dark

An endless path before me calling me onward

I have no choice, I must walk

 

 

The truth comes out unwarranted

It draws the hungry eyes, eyes I cannot meet

I am no longer alone, but this is not what I wanted

The eyes place a burden upon my shoulders, but still I must walk

 

 

I couldn't believe my eyes, another set of paw prints ahead of my own

I no longer walk, I run

I cry out, catching a glimpse of someone traveling ahead

My strength gone I fall, I cannot call anymore

_Get up!_ I flick my ears towards your voice

Rising slowly I begin again, I must walk

 

 

There! Waiting on the horizon you stand

We finally meet, you smile down at me

You offer me your paw

Now we must walk, together

 

 

Whispers on the wind

The eyes return, but they no longer just watch

They roar, and curse me

 

 

I'm so tired, tired of the fighting

I let go of your paw

Let me rest, no more strife

The eyes laugh, they have won

 

 

_No, stand by me!_ You scream

**Why? What's the point! I'm tired of these eyes**

_We walk this path together now, we hold each other's hearts_

_These eyes, the whispers that is all they are_

_Hold my paw and push forward, we must walk_

 

 

I smile, a tear in my eye

Taking your paw in mine I stand, the eyes raging around us

They no longer weigh me down Your eyes show me all I need, you lick the tear from my muzzle

Paw in Paw we turn, the road before us still endless

I smile, no longer must I walk

Together we walk
