The Innocent Smile of A Horse Saying Goodbye

The Innocent Smile of A Horse Saying Goodbye

Innocent Smile

I never wanted

To say goodbye;

I remember how much

You’d hate it when I cry.

But, Love, I can’t help it;

Now that you’re not here,

I need to release

This new buildup of fear.

Without your sweet nothings

Nibbled on my ear,

I’m afraid I feel lonely

And must shed just one tear

In memory of you,

Of your innocent smile.

I start to feel better;

The tears rest for a while.

But still I’m not happy

Without your sweet face;

The memories beguile me,

Lost without a trace.
