once I heard those words

the phone slipped from my hand

everything slowed down

every memory

raced through my head

"sold, sold, sold"

it echoed on, and on

how could it be

that they sold him

my one

my beloved horse

gone forever

never coming back

I heard

"kaylee whats wrong?"

but it was no more than a fly

buzzing in my ear

something tore, nawed, and ripped

through my heart

leaving a big

black

ugly hole

sliding down the wall

tears filling my eyes

my mind still racing

with the memories
I cry
