A Picture of Heartbreak (The Tragedy of Sibyl Vane)

Frozen in a picture of sadness
Captured at seventeen
And held as a memory
Forever.
Sweet Sibyl, I cry for you.
Beauty to beauty
Your brought so many to life
And with portrayal of Juliet
(Continuing the eternal cycle
Of death and resurrection)
You brought young heart
To love.
Oh Sibyl, why step from the stage?
Why leave behind shadows
That love you
For the shadow of love?
I cry for you
Sweet,
Silent,
Sibyl.
You did not deserve
Hope, love and life withdrawn.
Love is fluid
Not black and white
But for you, most certainly
Not Gray.
