CAMELOT FANTASIES

Sweet Marilyn
Smiling happily to all the cameras
Having the deep desire to please
Playfully tease
Torment & tantalize
As all watched with curious eyes

The smiling mask
She donned daily
Nightly
Always on
Until it was too hard a task

Conspiracy theorist
Moi

Believes her deathly demise
A medicinal concoction of self despise
(no)

But like that miraculous single ricocheting
Bullet that bounced & hit its Kennedy victim
Continuously

Strenuously as I might
For all the evidence they say they brought to light

Part of me will always wonder
Who was there to pander
And help her imbibe
In the guise
Of love and care

Think out of the box
Break all the real lies
Spewed at us for years
Look at pictures of her real tears
And pain
And then she smiled again

A beautiful misguided soul
Wanting the need to love
And be loved
All facets of herself

To feel whole
