Lily

Lily was a pretty girl With eyes a shining blue And copper hair, much like the sun, With an infectious smile, too Top of her class in college Men would stare as she walked by And when her friends laughed at her jokes No one could hear her sigh Imitation was her flattery Everyone knew her name And of course it was no party Unless beloved Lily came Her family was perfect Fully virtuous through and through Making generous donations To match each of Lily's red-backed shoes So each day she returned from school, To her mansion of a home, Ignored the pestering phone calls And sat quietly, all alone Til one day Lily returned Placing a note upon the shelf Quietly grabbed her father's gun And loudly killed herself
