So for a class, I had to write a bunch of poems and things in the view of a famous person. I chose Coco Chanel. I just thought i'd post this poem cause i liked it.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Black. Black is the color of my little black dress

It is also the dismal gray of death

The coffin they laid you in was just as dark

Leaving me with only a shell of your former self

I remember you, my dear captain

Your strong arms and gentle embrace

Recalling the rough stubble I never convinced you to shave

And then I try to forget your smile that shone so brightly

The radiant smile you gave to someone else

At the accident, I could not find you

What I saw was a bruised and damaged being

Smelling of fire and burning rubber

The sharp musky, almost bittersweet scent of you lingers no more

And your booming laughter has faded away

Now I sew this dress

A lasting token to you and our love

Though I know the gold ring was never mine to place

And your love was never mine to keep

Still, the invisible threads that create this dress

Connect me to the memories of you

And all that we once were
