The Daffodils Came Up Too Soon

by Aimee Hunt

They tasted sun

Were met with snow

I do love that little narcissus flower

She is tattooed on my ribs

Carved in my skin

I remember the needle

I cannot remember much of him

I gripped the table in pain

I could not cry when his soul slipped away with a

“thank you”

Trust me I tried

Wanted to

Listened to a sad song

Tears wouldn’t come

The daffodils came up too soon

He was kind

I remember

Never yelled never ridiculed never never

What a voice he had though

It remained when his memories did not

Deep Thoughtful Graceful

Patient

The way it lingered on every word

Syllable

Bright and golden like

His daffodils

Too young to remember much

We both lost our memories

The daffodils came up too soon
