just a girl .... i knew

She was always such a pretty girl , born into an unpretty world . On her own at a sweet sixteen years old , Mom a drunk , never knowing her Daddy or told ... who he was or was not , leaving an empty hole , in her heart , in her soul . As she grew into that woman with her beauty and every mans looks .... she found her place among gansters , degenerates and crooks . A tragic movie star , her role the victim , always .... her heart , soul ... a scar . Yet believing she was a starlet living in a magic dream , just a movie , another scene , without any heros  , just liars , cheats and zeros . Always she gave all that she could , for less than was worth .... her movie , her life , her time on this earth . Always ... that little girl ... her baby blues .... her name .... I cannot forget , yet so hard to say .... I loved her and could not save her , for that I feel only anger and shame . Her life spent trying to fill some empty hole , to be loved , feel comfort , never reaching or knowing how it feels .... to be whole . Six feet down .... her soul found peace , her body can rest ..... A girl I knew , who gave life her best .
