She


A woman sat upon her bed,
 
A barrette in her hair.
 
She sighed then smiled,
 
She must not seem riled, 
 
She must be sweet and fair.
 
 
 
A woman perched upon a stone,
 
A flower in her hair.
 
She wiped her face,
 
She stood with grace,
 
She must pretend she doesn't care.
 
 
 
A woman poised upon a stool,
 
Cloth over her hair.
 
She listened well,
 
She couldn't tell,
 
She could ask but wouldn't dare.
 
 
 
A woman laid upon the floor,
 
Streaked through was her hair.
 
She saw a light,
 
She seized with fright,
 
She smiled as she was no longer there.
