Written for beautiful but tragic model Gia Marie Carangi. God bless your soul.
Magazine beauty you were so pleasing to the eye
Your elongated legs, flat belly and slim thighs
Your full lips, perfect smile, white teeth
Arched eyebrows, heavy make-up, but what was underneath?Why couldn’t you smile when the cameras were not on you?What reason was there to be so blue?
You had a broken home,
A childhood spent all alone
Your two brothers stole all of your father’s attention
But wasn’t there something you forgot to mention?He would pick you up when you reached out to him
He gave you a job to help you make a living
He gave everything you thought he should be giving.
You had the whole world at your fingertips, or so you were told
You became a supermodel, made a fortune and died, just 26 years old
No-one but you could know how difficult it was
All those lonely moments passing you by, feeling lost
You craved love, a lasting relationship
But the girls you dated took but didn’t give
Your beauty was your downfall, it warped your world
For every penny someone makes, somebody else has to pay.
