Is she really there?
Lyin' there on satin sheets
With a Mona Lisa smile
And heartbreak in her empty eyes
A girl in a magazine
That could satisfy your dreams
Use your imagination
And she'd stay with you a little while
When your woman's gone you feel so down
Sometimes you need a dark eyed dream
To carry you through the night
When love has vanished from your life
When love has vanished from your life
Is she really there?
Lyin' there so close to you
And you know you cannot touch her...
So you hold her with your lonely eyes
A girl in a magazine
That could satisfy your dreams
Use your imagination
And she'd stay with you a little while
When your woman's gone you see her smile
Can you read the whisper in her eyes?
She wants you - what you want
She waits for - what you need...

This is a very beautifully writen work. I enjoyed the free verse (that's my favorite style). It is quite sad and realistic. I like the way that you needed each other in this piece. It set the tone very well. Sometimes we wish so much for something that isn't really there that in our minds it becomes more important than just a piece of paper. Life is hard, but worth it eventually.
Good job! Keep writing!
a girl in a magazine...I guess we all look for substitutes at one point or another...sometimes the fantasy is better than reality...lol...love the title, love the poem...it definitely reads very much like a song...
Good job, Greg! Enjoyable, rhythmical, free verse that really emotes the anguish of both a lost love and an ersatz substitute. I like the togetherness the piece emotes, even if she is only "a girl in a magazine". Sometimes they can seem awfully real, eh? Still, hope you find better than ink on paper.
