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
