Beauty Queen

by Cuddles   Feb 16, 2006


Her head was adorned with golden curls.
Her eyes were a dazzling blue.
I looked at her and saw a beauty queen.
You saw a beauty queen, too.

But something was missing from her life.
It was there in her hour glass shape.
No one knew what went on in her mind.
They didn't see that it was already too late.

For she had long since decided
that she must leave this world.
She had no one to love her,
a scared and defenseless girl.

So one calm night while everything was still
a shot rang in the air.
She thought no one would miss her.
She thought that no one cared.

But there was a boy who lived next door.
He'd watch her from his window.
So wrapped up in her life she didn't notice
that he loved her more than she could know.

    OMG, sad sad sad, the ending really threw me off, and theres not even a chance for them to be together! Gosh I hope this isn't some sort of anecdote. I liked the 'poeticness' of this, how everything seems to flow and it makes the last stanza even more surprising cause it's so different, Awesome awesome work :)

    This is so beautiful. I honestly think this is a lot better than the poem you submitted in my contest. Even though that one got you 3rd place. thsi one would've got you 1st.
    I think some of teh lines are a couple of syllables offbeat but emotion isn't smooth. thsi is really amazing work. Rock on,
