Losing a Best Friend

February 26, 2024
By Anonymous

Bounding up the slippery mahogany stairs

With a beaming smile stretched across my face 

The aroma of Sunday breakfast occupied the air

My dog Bella approached me with the widest grin 

I continued running until I reached the kitchen

I turned around and Bella was whining 

Suddenly it felt like someone put time in fast motion

Bella started to tremble

She was crumbling to the ground

Tears were streaming down my rosy red cheeks 

I couldn’t breathe anymore 

My best friend was gone forever

Bella was my childhood dog who passed away a couple years ago.
