Nimbus

During the day
you were so happy and free
now your lying on the ground
writhing in misery

i scream your name
to the wind and the sky
my mom holds me back
i can only cry

the vet shows up
this is the part i hate
theres nothing to do
but sit here and wait

the rain starts coming down
your immobilized from fear
i hold your head in my lap
your pain is so very clear

"""i can't remember how
i can't remember why
I'm lying here tonight
and i can't stand the pain
and i can't make it go away
no i can't stand the pain

how could this happen to me
I've made my mistakes
got no where to run
the night goes on
it's all fading away
I'm sick of this life
i just want to scream....
..how could this happen to me

everybody's screaming,
i try to make a sound but no one hears me
I'm slipping off the edge
I'm hanging by a thread
i wanna start this over again
so i try to hold
onto a time where nothing matters
and i cant explain what happened
and i cant erase the things that I've done, no i can't..""

I'm holding you in my arms
the vet is done trying
i turn away from the world
so it cant see me crying

my poor little baby
nothing could have saved you
i wish i never made the choice
i just didn't know what to do

now 2 years later
crying is the only way
to show that i still love you
and i think of you everyday

i wrote this in memory of Nimbus, my 5 month old colt who had to be put down, because he had a hernia. The part in quotations is a song by Simple Plan "Untitled" if anyone knows the song, it fits nimbus's story perfectly.
