Marilyn

Beneath the shades of damaged grey Where breath and wanting slip away Unto the hand that offers sleep The beckoning of some relief The fragile step into the dark The letting go whilst hope departs Before the time and moment come Escapes the scared and lonely one Fire wraps tormenting her The drink runs free on precious fur Jewels and dollars now her demise Society's girl destroyed, despised A suicide of empty eyes Recklessness of hateful lies Into black the end insight Motionless, the freeze of fright To take the glass of poison red At last release, for now she's dead.
