Poem Artwork


She applies her makeup
With an elegant air
Combs until it shines
Her short blond hair
The latest fashion
Graces her demure frame
The clothes in her closet
Bear all the brand names

She smiles at the neighbors
As she locks her front door
Just like she's done
A thousand times before
She climbs in her car
The finest Roll's around
Such a beautiful lady
Whispers the whole town

She stops at a river
How peaceful it seems
She takes off her shoes
And abandons her dreams
She walks the last mile
The river claims her life
Such a beautiful lady
The most perfect wife

Holy Moly... This is excellent writing Dear... Suprising but altogether possible... It's a sad way to go through life, but sometimes things run deeper... ;) Thanks for the comments on my site as well, I appreciate it!

You are so incredible.
This sifts right through the facades worn by so many.
We all need each other.
We certainly need you.

A beautiful poem with a chilling end showing the fact that even wealth cannot spare you the throes of apathy and depression

What leads a mind to the final end is not always decernable. Very well conceived and written piece that happens almost every day.

Ah, yeah, I felt that I knew where the poem was going but I wasn't ready for the ending anyway, it was so . . . as-matter-of-fact. Good job.
