My One and Only

Sadness filled my heart
That lonely, dark time
When we had to depart
And felt nothing inside but grief

Was it my fault? I wonder
He didn’t have to go
Without me, alone as well
It didn’t feel just, or fair

I will never like that day
That sick and terrible day
When I cried until it burned
When something died inside of me

And that something
That something that died in me
Was a best friend
My one and only friend

And that patch that left my heart
Will never ever mend

    That is a thoughtful poem mustangmane… I lost my cat and my dog a few years back. I had them since i was born. It is very hard to let go… if you’ve read my blog “Time Goes On” youll understand what i mean. Remember you always have friends on the GHC! =0)

    This poem described exactly how I felt when I had to let go of my horse. Those empty places in your heart never do mend, and you perfectly portrayed that in a beautiful and poetic way.

    I completely agree as well as understand “… that patch that left my heart Will never ever mend” I lost a horse awhile back and some times I think about him and the times we had together,just us.:’)
    I believe that wether or not horses and other creatures go to heaven or not,God knows what’s best for us and only He can decide. And we can always hope!
