IconElegies

I was a princess of sorrows and I died far from home in a hotel room that I had not left for a year. My heart remained in Persia, and found no home elsewhere. Yes, I was loved, but that did not save me from the darkness. It was not an assassin's bullet that killed me but my loss in the misty agony and pain, from which I never found a way out. I was also buried in a foreign land, and I was never allowed to see Persia again. Poet's note. Leila Pahlavi, the daughter of the Shah of Persia, died young of an overdose and was buried in Paris.

I was lost in love. I was lost in life.  I became numb to alcohol and drugs asi it happens to people. I fell in love with the one I shouldn't have fallen in love with. That's how it always goes. Only I died, he lives. When I died, I was alone. No one was there. A crazy situation for a singer. I left, but my songs remain the same. Poet´s note. Amy Winehouse was the last 27´s club. Great singer. 

I couldn't sleep. I just couldn't. You can be the best actor in the world but you can't act your own life. Like the Joker, who laughs when forced. There are always new stars. New Jokers. I sleep. Forever. Poett´s note. Actor Heath Ledger died  of a comabination of sleeping pills.

 It was supposed to be the last time. The last time I used. The last time I had to forget. The last time I had to be forgotten. It was the last time. So many times I had looked death eye to eye. Now it took me. Almost by accident. I knew it would, but I was almost surprised. I was Matthew Perry. I made others laugh, even as I cried.  Poets note. Everybody remembers Matthew from Friends.
