Angel in White
She was a light shining in the brighter sun.
She was the cause for worship among men.
She was a woman at age 11 when it happened.
She was, even so, a cause for pride, for
She was my friend.
She walked in a land where no one bothered.
She appeared in strange places with stranger people.
She caused much alarm to the little town of L.A.
She killed the fish to feed the cats.
She just was.
She left her dad dead, a heart attack.
She didn't cry tears of water but blood.
She joined her mom and conniving step-dad.
She loved her more than him.
She was basic.
She left them on a trip.
She went to Hollywood.
She lived with the bums.
She survived on what was free.
She was taken back to an upside-down home.
She smoked a lot - - - cigarettes too.
She had parents who didn't give a damn.
She had the money though.
She thought that's what counted.
