(I had a snake that died in January. He was my only true friend. The day after I wrote this in my Myspace blog, hoping someone would understand my pain. Only one person Commented at all.)
Rest In Peace
R.I.P
To a friend like no other
To he who would not judge
To he whom anyone could speak to
Anyone as fearless as I
Last night, my room was perfectly warm, but I still felt an icy chill. My eyeliner was ruined; my mind was not at ease.
Last night, I walked into my room after coming home from a visit to Hot Topic. I felt renewed. I had a new shirt, a rose barrette, and a few peices of new jewelery. I was happy, and more than that..... content.
Last night, I looked over the top of my pets habitat, and I felt worried about his position. It didn't look like my creature would be to happy after laying like that for a while.
I opened the door to my creature's home and lightly touched his smooth skin.
There wasn't a reaction to my touch.
Death lingers here
Forever forbading
Never releasing
Ever Heartbreaking
Sly, My young ball python, had died.
I didn't talk about it at all during school today, up until third hour. Thats when I told the first person about my awful plight.
The next person I told didn't even know I had one, and before I could even tell her what happend she said, "Ugh! I hate snakes!"
After I got home, the blanket over Sly's habitat had been tossed over to the top; Obviously, someone had gone to see.
Not long after I received a text. It read....
"Oh my god. I just heard. Are you okay?"
It was from a friend whom I knew was bitterly afraid of the creature.
Nobody was sympathetic, except for my family, who knew how much I cared for him.
At least I'm accepting.
His autumn eyes would shine
the light from overhead would reflect on his face
His skin was smooth.... Comforting
He judged me not
He feared me not
He only cared
R.I.P
The Ball Python
The one and only
Sly
