Passing

She was passing me
Just as I looked up
Her blond locks flowing
And her lips red
The definition of beauty

She was passing me
But stopped
When her shoe slipped off
I moved quickly
Grabbing and giving
Like it was a glass slipper

I only saw the cover
I didn't know the story
That her story was tragic
Full of pain and sadness

Now I know her story
But it's to late

She lays there
Her once tan skin pale
Her blond hair knotted
And tied into place
Lips blood red
And wrist facing down

Hiding the story

As people are passing
She's laying still
Not sleeping
Not resting

But finally at peace
