The Yellow Daffodil


It stains the walls around her 

That awful color yellow is splashed all over the walls 

Its on her face and body

All she wanted was someone to help and understand 


Its splattered against her favorite teddy bear 

The one her friend gave her yesterday because it was her birthday 

It splattered on her precious canopy bed 

The one she loved lying on and talking to her love on the phone all day long 

The color yellow was everywhere and nowhere 


Yellow was the color her parents walked in to see 

Her mother screamed and yelled 

While her father had a horrified look in his face 

Her older sister heard the commotion and went to see what was going on


When she saw what happened

She broke into tears 

All she could see around the room was yellow and then there she was 

Her little sister on her bed lying there with a small smile on her face


It looked like she was resting but in a pool of yellow 

They had to call the ambulance to come get her 

The police came too 

They put yellow police tape all around the house 

Treating it like a crime scene

Maybe that's  just exactly what it was
