A class all your own
Untouchable, majestic
What style, such flair.

All an illusion
Unsolvable the secret,
behind your smile.

A dark side unseen,
Drowning pain, swallowing
so much sorrow.

Magic pills you ate
After so much ache and hurt,
you sleep forever.

My sweet darling,
Why did you have to end it?
Your life so precious.

So young, so vibrant
A princess misunderstood,
fighting her demons.

Sweet, I will miss you
A void vacant, you left
in my bleeding heart.

The author's comments:
I originally wrote this with Marilyn Monroe in mind. She fits into the classification of artists who died so young--I guess this world was too much. In other words, they will be missed.

&quot;You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose. You&#039;re on your own, and you know what you know. And you are the one who&#039;ll decide where you&#039;ll go.&quot; -Dr. Seuss
