Pamela

She was more than a footnote 
In someone else's fame 
Yet many people when she died, 
treated her just that way and let her fade 

Not much is known about her final day 
But I'm writing this just to say her name 
To say "Pamela, you're not forgotten, you're in my mind all the time" 

At the very least I can honor her with this rhyme
