FALLEN
Laughter and tears
both rise and fall
like bubbles
in her glass and bath.
The star
shines bright
in the studio light,
but fades
in lonely nights.
Created in make-ups
and dye
- living a false lie.
Brought down
by pills
and mental ills?
- dying in lonesome chills.
Laughter and tears
both rose and fell
like stars
glued in her heavens.
