Unexpected Storms

She was a roller coaster of happiness
 She was the life of the party
 Her smile, a ray of sunshine
 And she could party hearty!

 She fell in love
 When autumn leaves were gold
 She'd  met him on the internet 
 Unexpected storms came with the cold

 She weathered the storm
 and their love grew strong
 Her heart was all aglow
 with love's sweet song

 A sea of colour in spring
 in yellow, pink, and red
 were still swaying in the wind
 When we heard she had shot her lover dead!
