My Saving Grace

by Chasing Moonlight

Just a little look in to Sam's wolfy head... What does it feel like to lose everything that makes you human, even the one thing you want to stay human for? Disclaimer: all Maggie Stiefvater, I'm just playing with his head

My Saving Grace

Count the seconds till I fade away

Another end to a summer's day.

Just how long till winter comes?

The snarls, the yelps, the beating drums?

Watch the clock, the moments fall.

Wait and wait for the howling call.

Shed my skin, shrug the shrouding fur.

Keep the eyes that cry for summer.

Watch the winter, the snow and the frost.

Howl, helpless, as I am lost.

Crouch in the darkness, wait for a sign.

Smile at the human who is always mine.

I remember no name, see just her face,

And think of salvation. She's my saving grace.
