Narrative Poem

I Lost My Best Friend(Girls Perspective)

I felt like no one was there

I was just walking getting some air

Its crazy because id never thought id see, something as beautiful,

As free.

As anything could ever be

Something clicked instantly

You picked me.

I took you home with me

And seeing you everyday made me so happy

It was so worth the cost

And no precious time was ever lost

I started to slack on the bills

I thought of freeing you back to the hills

I just couldn’t let you go

I could pay the bills

Or at least I hope so.

I came to see you but not to play

I had to take you somewhere far away

 When we got there I instantly knew

That I had disappointed you.

It was so hard to say goodbye

But you were sick and we could figure out why

The bills pilled up

And I threw them on the desk, plump.

I couldn’t do it, it was too much

And then I saw the look in your eyes

So helpless, so wide.

I saw the slaughter house sign raise

I hoped and prayed

You couldn’t be going there

I was about to cry

Inside I thought I had died.

I remember seeing you walk away

And I prayed and prayed you would be okay

I thought about you earlier today

Maybe you made it to green bay.

Deep down I truly know

That I had let you down, so low..

I tried to show you how much you meant to me

My best friend you’ll always be.

I Lost My Best Friend (Horses Perspective)

Free.

Running with my mane and tail blowing behind me

My brothers and sisters are running too

That’s when I saw you.

Standing there admiring me

As I was running, free.

You picked me.

I went home with you

It had the same great view

But at the same time, it was different too

You came to see me everyday

Even came out to just say hey

I so glad to finally know

I am safe here,

Or at least I hope so.

I started seeing you less and less

I thought you were gone.. Yes?

Then one day you came, and said bye

Why were you crying? I didn’t know why

We took the trailer somewhere new

Why oh why? I trusted you!

It was loud, crazy, and I got pushed through doors

I was looking for you, I thought I was yours?

I was so scared, so terrified,

Inside I thought that I had died.

I slipped and fell

I couldn’t see, oh well

When the doors opened, it hurt my eyes

I didn’t know them, who were these guys?

I was crammed into a small thing

Then I heard a gate close, ding..

Within 10 seconds I couldn’t see

Where was my friend? Where could she be?

My heart pounding fast I hit the ground

And after that I heard no more sounds

I had lost someone so close to me

My best friend you’ll always be
