She was a sight to witness.
Thunderclaps resounding in her stride,
a storm to be reckoned with.
Her swiftness trailed by the red cardigan she wore,
oddly stained
in an array of colors.
It was beginning to be the end of June,
the fading orange of warmth long gone.
What spontaneity of youth remain
setting on those last summer days. Echoes,
of memories made.
But quick to move on.
Happiness exuded with optimism bright,
perception of the self sadly twisted.
Curiosity, perhaps doubt,
or a complete disregard,
must’ve placed that yellow speckled kiss in spite.
Much like the rotting sunflowers she held in limp arms.
Though the mind said no, the action persisted.
It was beneath the green of the maple tree,
where the seed of doubt had been planted.
Growth and envy intertwined
a c h i n g l y
between those newly formed vines,
What once was a sacred place now filled with strife.
A lovely shade palace
built over lies.
That boy she knew stood alone as the rain grew,
soaking his blue vest a shade darker.
Patches of red seeping into the thread
another casualty.
He was merely
an afterthought to overcome.
Souls so sensitive
yet immature to the ash and dust they bear,
forever tangled in a longing despair.
Another color added but they wish to move on,
slowly fading that shade of purple
but never gone.
