They found her dead, with her chin resting on her unmade bed. She was crazy, she liked to yell, she was offensive and she liked to raise hell. One day pleasant, one day rude. When she hung out out the pool she liked to be crude. She was well over thirty, but she liked to be flirty. Some called her a "flooze" because she liked to hook-up and booze. I saw her as sad. Her life made her mad. She was so alone in her one bedroom home.
Sometimes I wish I had said more to her in the days before they found her dead, with her chin resting on her unmade bed.
I usually don't like to write in a rhymes, but I wrote the first sentence and went with it. My neighbor was found dead last week and I wanted to write this to get it out of my mind.
 
That first line is officially one of my favorite lines ever written. THAT is a brilliant sentence dear. Thanks for the glimpse. :)
