Margaux As I Knew Her
Margaux with the purple and green nail polish on only one hand
 Margaux with the real dragonfly clipped in her hair
 Margaux who claims she's seen a fairy
 Margaux, just Margaux, with no need of a last name
 
 Margaux loud and clear
 her sandles flip-flopping,
 her hips swish-swaying,
 bubble-gum popping in time
 with the jing-jangling of her bracelets and keys
 
 Margaux three doors down
 maybe clear across the hall
 or just four seats up the row
 Dark waves quivering, tied back with a shoelace
 Impatient foot tapping 
 Nervous fingers rapping
 drumming on anything in reach
 
 Margaux as she burns
 fire spilling over like an awakened volcano
 Margaux as she dreams
 she flew like a hawk into a storm
 she swam deeper than any fish 
 And with her I could fly as well
 And beside her I dreamed as I never dared
 
 Margaux unaccepted
 So many glares and insults she never deserved
 Marguax often rejected
 she was left to forever dream alone
 Marguax full of love
 she loved with no expectation of return
 
 Margaux strong till the end
 Crying for me when I couldn't for myself
 never shedding a tear while her world burned around her
 And when the lights began to fade
 And the stage curtains were closing
 One blue eye faded with fear
 the other green ete fiiled with acceptance
 Margaux took her last bow and left the stage
 
 And now Margaux is dancing for God
 Margaux's singing with her fellow angels
 She had said it was her time
 but the world's not as bright without her
 the colors less meaningful
 the sun less brilliant
 and the universe lost one of its stars
 
 Margaux with her silver hair
 Margaux with her perpetual laughter
 Margaux who smiled her last smile as they hated her
 kind, lost Margaux who can never come back
 Margaux, just Margaux, who can never be replaced
