Marilyn
November 26, 2009
Your painted red lips puckered.
Your platinum curls bounced.
Hollywood looked your way and molded a superstar.
A photo lens captured you.
The film camera followed you.
The microphone stood for you.
The world saw you as our beautiful Marilyn Monroe.
Your smile told a story.
Your eyes told the truth.
You couldn’t stand to be alone, it just had to end.
Every girl wants to be you.
Every man wants to be with you.
I just want to know you.
You just wanted to be wonderful.
I want that same thing.
