Made up and ready
Lipstick perfect, hair curled
Eyeliner unsmeared
Dress sparkly as ever
But today is the day
So the dress is stained with red
Laying down on the floor
Bleeding out with pills in her hand
Beautiful prom princess
So young but too old
Empty bottle beside her
Fading, fading,
almost gone
Eyes closed, slipping away
Makeup still perfect
She’s leaving now
To sleep peacefully,
forever.
