Bica

My mind was blank as I looked upon her bed

She laid there stiff, tears swelled

I, at first, couldn’t bring myself to understand

My face went cold, almost numb if you will

I felt it, but nothing...

Emotion continued to flood my thoughts

Through my lips escaped a shrill cry

So pitiful I felt, like the world had me in restraints

I’m stuck, watching this now lifeless bed

She’s gone...she’s been gone

I was the equivilant to a broken record

What could I do? Nothing

Absolutely nothing...

And there I sat next to her bed

Clenching my aching head

Oh Bica, how good of a dog you were

How I wish I hadn’t let you go
