“A wise girl kisses but doesn't love, listens but doesn't believe, and leaves before she is left.”
― Marilyn Monroe
The twist of hair
Daring only to step into the light
Until makeup smears
Obliterated all
That was her
Keeping all that was precious
Hidden safe
Beguiling with a bat of the lash
While
Trembling in the shadow
None could know
Frozen memory
Foster family shuffle
Reaching for a lost fathers hand
But
In the floodlight
His silence couldn't touch you
If only the light remained on
If that was all you could
Believe
Though you knew the
Opposite
The studio's made more than 200 billion from you
Or from the image
But
What did you make?
What did you loose?
In the explosion of pleasure
Before the bottle of pills fell from your hand
Did you find it?
Whatever you hid
In the end, even you began to trip across the truth
And the boy believed that he saw you
If only for a moment
But he was just a boy
