You Will Be Missed Poem by david lessard

no matter what they say about you love,
you set a thousand hearts a-racing;
with your sexy, stunning smile,
it's you we were a-chasing.

I know, you knew, the camera loved you,
your subtle winks, your pouty lips;
your pin-up looks, your throaty sighs,
have sunk a hundred thousand ships.

the innocent face, the little girl lost,
these images were a collage of you;
you weren't taken serously as an actress,
you couldn't please the critics; it's true.

but I loved you anyway, you were the star,
we worshipped your body and your beauty;
your love affair with life and movies,
you were one red-hot-mamma, quite the cutie!

you took your life, like Sylvia and Vincent,
people misunderstood, they're on the list;
talented, lonely, not taken positively,
my sweet Marilyn, you'll be sorely missed.
