Always there for you

Sitting. 

Rocking.

Feeling the wind in your hair.

The world rushes past.

You lean down, urge him on.

Faster.

His hair whips your face,

But you feel no pain.

Only delight.

Only freedom,

and happiness.

There is only you and him.

You feel like you can fly,

And that, together, you can race though time.

You forget your worries.

Your problems and sadness.

You forget the world.

The hunger,

The death,

The loneliness of others.

Soon he tires.

You let him slow.

The world comes back.

The pain and worries come crawling back into your mind.

The loneliness comes back,

But only for a moment.

Because you look down and right there,

Under you is him.

He will never leave you.

Your feet touch the Earth anew, 

and you go to his head.

You look into his eyes.

You see nothing but total trust.

Unconditional love,

An Unbreakable bond.

He does not judge.

He does not care what others say about you.

He never says good-bye.

He is always there when you need comforting.

He will never leave. 

He is your love.

He is your horse.

[t.stone]

Well done. Not overwritten or exaggerated. Very clean and precise and vulnerable.

Love the line: "The loneliness of others." It saves everything from becoming too self-involved. In fact, I think that line is more powerful and relevant than, "The hunger," or, "The death."

Just my opinion, but I would stay away from words/phrases like "Yet..." and "...once more." Of course, there is nothing wrong with them, but in this particular piece they feel a bit forced. You've got such a natural flow going here... it's very conversational... and then those words act almost like speed bumps.

1 type-o: "Soon he tired." = "Soon he is/he's tired," or, "Soon he tires."

Overall very good. Cheers!
