Lady By The Plastic

This was gonna be sooo different....

Bright as the sunshine, the smile on her face

I stood and wondered, how simple lives were run

What good of purity, had lit up her days?

Living off plastic, for those fortune had done

No greater comfort, no riches in denial

Everything out there, just a sigh out of reach

She sold pleasure, sweet deceit for a child

But her smile still stole all urge for speech

Seasons have changed now, the winter brings a chill

Forges no warmth, but still her eyes are lit

Bespoke a raindrop, I thought upon the sill

'You've struck water, this dry well, now has spilt'

She sold goodwill, for her fortune deceived

Put up a brave veil, for children needed this

Her smile though tainted, still lingered in her lead

She was plastic, living on her shattered dreams
