Fame
She longed for significance
To stand out from the three billion
Her name
Her name
On the lips of the multitudes
Her beauty celebrated
Hushed whispers when she walked through a room
A big deal
From a small town
Beauty queen
Young guys dream
Adored
A fantasy
Breathy beauty
Bombshell
Blonde perfection
Her need for love
Paramount
Essential
Paralyzingly
Never enough
Insatiable
Lost
Sweet yet fierce
Detrimentally driven
She wanted love
Hearts
A nation
The world
The moon
Strong men
Could not hold her
Mr. president
Couldn't stop her decent
A risen star
In death did fall
Alone
Mourned
Along with jimmy Dean
Elvis
Michael jackson
She stood out
From the Billions
A household name
What a shame
We adored
Idolized
Perhaps
Yes perhaps
We
Us
Are to blame
Her life
Her fame
That name
Left behind
Flickering on screens
Unreachable
Not her
The real woman we'll never know
Breathy beauty
Bombshell
Blonde perfection
Loved
