Poem: "Remembering The Horses"

"Remembering The Horses"

Cold sweat
awoken suddenly
from the empty nothing
gnawing at my insides

Staring into the distance
the wind howls
erasing traces of what was
revealing the lie
hiding beneath
all those years ago

Cut me deep
let me go
allow the pain to consume
as the devils in my head
laugh in derision

The final memory left
was the music of your voice
that faded smile
as the rain wept in silence

I remember the cry
of beautiful horses
as they lie
on the cold earth
dying.
