A girl dressed in glittering black
With chandelier earrings
Hair done up with pearls
Eyes sparkling with freshly shed tears
Cheeks flushed with sadness
At the top of the stairs-
Waiting-
Like the silence before a song-
The calm before the storm-
Shining
And beautiful
Like a Shakespearean play-
Tragically beautiful

Oh the irony
That all tragedies are love stories
