Sleeves and Sorrows Drowned

She casually wore her heart on her sleeve,

Gasping at air for the untold reprieve.

The girl who fought dearly for glamour and fame...

I wanted her body; she wanted my name.

But business is business, and lies are my fuel

So I got what I wanted—one sparkling jewel.

I looked her square in the eye, with the sort of confidence only the best of men can muster.
"Listen, babe," I said, "I'll put you in the fuckin' movies. Ya want that?"

She wanted that.
She wanted that very dearly.

Exploitation is icky.

Don't chase fame, chase artistic fulfilment.
