My Best Friend by S.B.

Sitting under the open window
Staring below at the barren ground
Seeing the imprint of where you used to lay
Thoughts of you fill my heart everyday

I remember the whining and screaming
There I sat praying with you in my arms
With each breath you struggled
I knew that it would soon be the end

Tears raced down my face
I held you close to my heart
When you breathed your last breath
A part of me vanished in the blink of an eye

I rubbed your furry little head
And kissed you one last time
I wrapped you in a blanketed
Then said my final goodbyes

Now you lay in the ground
Right under the window of your favorite spot in the house
With a note on your grave
That says rest in peace…my best friend
