Can I Be Chantilly Lace Tracy

A new girl in a new state began High School knowing noone Seemed an unlikely trajectory She'd be befriended by the sweethearts Tracy and Jenny, blond peas in pods Adorable, butter doesn't melt best pals - Sigrid, been to sixteen different schools Divorced parents, stalker psychotic father Stole Tracy and Jenny's glass friendship stone Jealousy to have had their staid childhood, fire Two became a trio as messey maned ginger Shoved her bizarre self into the candy sweet bowl Bitter lingered, how could it not, - Witnessing their clean smiled naive perfection Stability and friendship took the edge off pain Stabbed like clock hands turn minutes to years What happened to gorgeous bob haired Jenny She was TracyandJenny no separation Somehow Sigrid found herself spending time with Tracy, and literally lusted after her friend Seemingly unaware of how perfect her looks were Beauty spot, creamy skin, deep teal eyes, Flat stomach blossoming curves, utter prom queen Wide smile, girlish charm, cute family unit Envy madly bubbled in Sigrid's psyche Between them, no similarities. Just a longing... Tracy moved to opposing hill house, further from Jenny Her Dad helped build it, visible from Sigrid's window - Could there be a chance, all these decades later That Sigrid could strangely inhabit some of Tracy's feminine and delicate traits - I bloody hope so 7th October
