• White faced
    Delicate red lips
    Richly adorned
    Known by a name, not of her own
    She performs mindlessly for others
    Knowing all too well
    There simply to be an entertainer
    Strumming for another
    A counterpart singing nearby
    Both... All... Simply an illusion of a woman's perfection
    The willows among the flowers
    She pours tea, careful not to dip her sleeves
    Striking conversation effortlessly with many whom she'll never see again
    This was her first and only nature
    Carrying her emptiness with grace
    She is simply an entertainer
    A beautiful, desolate shell
