Killer Eyes Comments

Thanks, Ray. This one just poured out of me, after crying my way through Francine's funeral. The true stories are always the most touching, or in this case, sad.

Thanks, Kostas. I watched the movie (upon which my poem is based) more than once, and each time, I cried at her funeral. I think perhaps her Dad hoped she'd sing with him some day. That never got to happen.

Thank you, Louis. I personally feel that she had a huge hole in her heart from all those years of missing her father while he was on the road, and growing up primarily without him. But I suppose we'll never know for sure if it was suicide, an accidental overdose of a prescription, or falling victim to some opportunist drug dealer who preys on the rich and famous for their money. Dead people can't talk.

Yes it is, Lamar. And what makes it even sadder, is that it's true. Thanks for commenting.
