She was so incredibly beautiful
that the first time

men saw her on a movie
screen

some gasped.

I didn’t gasp, but my mind
was blown by her
unparalleled beauty,

and, oh God, how I
wished I could have

been with her.

Sadly, her beauty
didn’t make her
lucky in love.

Six marriages, all
ending in divorce,

and when an old
woman,
she died lonely

never having had
lasting love.
