Just Beautiful

A Poem by Geralyn Miller

WOTD #10

Parleyed her beauty

into a wealthy husband,

and lovely home.

Still unsatisfied,

she began to drink too much;

more and more each day.

Husband and money

soon went away; still she drank.

She's not pretty now.

This is for Vivian, who thought marrying a rich man would make her happy, it didn't. God rest her soul.
