If Marilyn Monroe Were Alive Today, What Would She Be Doing?A Poem by Barry SheltonVerse 1: Staring at the sun as it breaks through the sky A shining reminder of our darkest day Oh why cant I just forget you? The story's done but I cant seem to turn the final page A shakespearian tragedy for the modern age
Chorus: Save the theatrics for an actor All your dramatics, they have left me tired Oh I hear the sound of your heartbeat so slow The orchestra's optimism was misleading as I let you go
Verse 2: Holding my breath Taking that last step off the stage Cant look back now because your eyes they were my cage Push through the door and I'm met by the autumn breeze The wind so powerful it should have brought me to my knees Look to the clouds and I swear I could see your name I look to escape your twisted game
Repeat Chorus
Bridge: Break me down in the saddest of ways Break me down in anyway that you crave You controlled me in every move that I made but it seems that I foiled all the plans that you laid It all just fell apart at the seams You wanted love but you knew not knew not what it means. © 2013 Barry SheltonAuthor's Note
