WHITE HORSES

     She can close her eyes and
remember the exact moment she heard her heart shatter deep inside her chest.

   The moment the words sunk true
and reality could no longer be ignored.

Could no longer be pushed, shunned, or drugged away.

The very second that life itself did not make sense anymore.

Moments that fallowed that existence did not seem the same.

 

She could calculate the very blip on the clock of life that everything
paused.

The earth stood still….

Her blood stopped traveling through her veins, and nothing….

Nothing seemed the same.

 

He died at 9:30 pm… on a
bathroom floor. Or at least, that’s what the corners report says…

He stuck the needle deep in his neck…

And when he died there was no one there.

He was alone. Like he always was.

 

It took them until the next day to find his body.

For

hours

he

just

laid

there.

 

 

The moment she heard the rumor, she knew it was only composed of truth.

A brutal beast that rode in on anything but a white horse.

Because it was that day, you see… that they stole her prince away.

You could not blink this one gone.

It was about to shape her life in a new way.

 

She could not fight it,

Even if she did not like it.

 

So he was gone.

And nothing….

Nothing would be the same.
