You Never Know

She was the top-of-the-mark. A movie star. Wore dark glasses. Wore a smile on her face no matter what. Even after she lost her first baby Because her husband threw her down a flight of stairs. He is arrogant, rude, revered by his fans. A bully. Prances around with an enormous ego. Watching her out of the corner of his eyes In case she missteps or gets out of line. Sometimes the glamour we see Exhibited for us, on a red carpet With flashbulb happiness Is not the real story.
