Her Name Was May

There was this girl

With eyes the color

Of the sky that fills

Your childhood memories

She had dirty blond hair

Always in a braid

A braid that held more flowers

Then cherry blossom trees

That would bloom

Around her

She ran everywhere

As if there was a timer

In her mind

And she would bring

The breeze with her

Her days varied

Sometimes

She was cheerful

Sunny

And sometimes

Her flowers in her hair

Were drooped

And dirty

Along with her

She would cry on those days

Soaking everything in her path

On her cheerful days

She brought warmth

Filling everyone with joy

Her eyes

Of childhood skys

Would glow

There would be more flowers

Than hair

In her braid

But this girl

She would only stay

For a short time

31 days

31 days

Of warmth

And then her heavy tears

Of her blue eyes

And flowery hair

Then she would leave

And in her place

Was another girl,

June

And everyone forgot of the girl

With childhood skys

Hidden behind her eyes

And the braid

Tucked in between the flowers

Everyone forgot her name

But not me

Her name

Was May
