From Lionpaw's POV:

I am racing

Down the tunnel

Are they chasing

Me from the dell?


Always afraid

They will find out

But our love won't fade

Sometimes I have doubts


Then I see her face

Shining in the dark

I feel like it's a chase

Is it stupid, a lark?


No. I love her so much.

It can't be wrong, it can't.

But its torture - look, not touch.

Can't live with her, I quietly pant.


Can't smell her soft scent.

It's driving me mad

Just can't live like this, rent.

Have to say no. Feels so bad.


A tear trickles down my cheek.

Sweet tastes tart.

My eyes leak.

So does my heart.


I will be the best warrior

But my heart bleeds

I'll be the golden savior

It was me. I decreed


That we'd be apart

But it isn't worth it

My broken heart

Wants to commit


Wants to take it back

But it's over.

My world is black.

Because I'll always love you.


From Heatherpaw's POV:

I love you

You left me

Our time was due

Our love over, see?


I should have known

It would be done.

That I'd never own

You. Because we can't outrun


Our destiny. I could

See yours so clearly.

I knew, I knew I should

But I loved you, wrongly.


There was a greater plan.

Long bright nights, yet no day

We were separated by Clan

I didn't have the strength to say


"No." You had it, but I didn't.

I didn't want to leave you.

Your shining pelt, that happy glint

In your eye when you saw me. I love you too.


Now you are gone, my sweet brave love

You look to your life, I to mine.

Yet in death there will be no barriers of

Clan or blood, law or rule. We shall be entwined


But for now we must be apart

I feel like I cannot breathe

Love is sweet, life is tart.

Yet live to love, I seethe


Is not the way.

Love to live

Hush, don't say

That I'm wrong. Give


give it a try

Just remember

as you sigh

As your flickering ember


Is about to go out

Remember

In death, there will be no barriers

Live to love.
