This is a story.

 

About a girl named Maybelline.

With Champaign hair that bubbles in the sun

and eyes sea green, just like her mum.

 

That saw the world in shades of roses.

……….

 

And so this story goes

her features did flourish,

and soon men’s gazes did begin to amble

 

to that Champaign hair that seems to bubble.

 

Approaching with soft sympathies

and witty smarts,

made Maybelline giggle

out her holy hopes.

 

……….

 

Naturally then there came a point,

 

where dear Maybelline

imagined her white-laced starts

to this man who only stole hearts.

 

Under that slanted steeple, down from blueberry park.

 

………

 

Innocent Maybelline, had yet to learn

of wicked tongues

and stronger hands,

 

that leave ruby stains on this once cleaned bed.

 

………

 

Unexpected, as the chaste do often think,

to find a belly full of different kinds

of new beginnings.

 

A kind she named Anna JoLee.

 

With hair dark as gloom itself

and eyes sea green, just like her mum.

Anna JoLee will see a world in only slight shades of grey

and pray for death to take her away.

 

……..
