— 

Take a walk with me,

Come on lets leave this city,

Loved by many understood by so few,

Sad to say this is the life you knew,

The girl who sang diamonds are a girls best friend,

Never could fathom the clarity of love in the end, 

You were that willow tree, 

Branching out with your roots for a family, 

Punctuality was nothing you knew of insecure wild flower,

It’s okay I would have waited a thousand hours,

Your aura screamed magical,

With the wars you fought you were no damsel,

Sitting on that dusty dirty sidewalk as a child, 

Demons & turmoil look you in the face just giggling, laughing, and you smiled,

Beauty extracted from pain,

Guiding you to the wishing well,

Tears are shed when we pass the children’s carousel,

Singing ‘I want to be loved by you’ the character was broken,

The world should have took notice been frightened, 

Three men called you their Mrs.,

None could fulfill your wishes,

The rhythm in your walk,

The melody in your voice when you talk,

Your body language was quick to disguise,

Oh Marilyn she is a handfull they’d say,

Graciously brushing it off acting so gay,

Always labeling you just a dumb blond bombshell,

A little of you died inside with the pain that befell Hollywood became your hell,

Beauty extracted from pain,

And here we are eyes locked hands entwined lips grazing,

Half a century later your influence still breathe taking,

Whispers from you stalk me in passions or despair,

Men loved you women wanted to be you but in the end no one was there,

Rainbows fading to grey music with no thump ballerina without shoes,

Our time is ending but you will always be my muse, 

Oh Mr. Sandman bring me a dream,

Let me hold on to her for a second longer I’ll do anything, 

We don’t have to touch words won’t be spoken I just want to be quiet with you,

A motherless child who could not conceive her own, 

Never belonging to anyone always feeling alone, 

I close my eyes and make a wish,

That you will never go away it will always be like this,

I pray that you got your happily ever after ending to your fairytale,
