Bereft

It will hurt.
God, it will hurt.
Ripping me from the inside
like something I've never known before.

She is sunshine
of the brightest kind
smiling and laughing
friendly and open

She is exuberant
and confident, knowing her worth
altogether lovely
Standing tall and perfect

May

May arrived 
with speed beneath its wings
carrying with it
plans for revisions upon life

Would I allow it to move me?

April disappeared
as quick as a swallow's swoop
And curved to the left before I could
even catch my breath 

Was I truly surprised?
