She cries in crimson Dreams in black She hides behind shades Lives at the back She watches from corners Sees life scream by She knows only strangers Her hopes are all dry Lotharingia "For God's sake, he's a poet. Poets are meant to feel miserable. Otherwise, what the hell are they here for? What are they going to write about?" Tom Holland |

I don't know who you were painting, but I see a prostitute... with a sad sad story. Jamie Tu ne cede malis, sed contra audentior ito. - Virgil. "Yield thou not to adversity, but press on the more bravely". |

I love this portrait... I feel like this sometimes. I know others who do too. I loved the first two lines. |

Thanks! I’m so flattered I might disappear! Prometheus, Thanks for coming up with the prostitute comparison, I hadn’t thought of that, but it does fit. It was actually written about my great aunt who died in the mid eighties. As a kid I didn’t understand her but later I realised how terrible her life was. She sacrificed everything for other people, but no one realised it. This was what I meant when I wrote the line: she knows only strangers. No one knew, or even tried to know her.
