Oh I remember this gem of a talent. First one of hers (I remember) was Am I Pretty Yet...an anorexic suicide ....chilling, haunting look at despair caused by trying to meet others' expectations.
Dom, where did you find it\get it?


This one by her is one of only a handful I ever I think hers is the only lyric by others I ever kept
Just found the music here... https://www.reverbnation.com/lexrose/song/18585625-madeline-may
Last song on the list just press play and sit back ...then start at the top and work your way down

Am I Pretty Yet
© Alexis Rose

Oh what a shame that he never came
Didn’t see the way she cried that day
Haunted tears rolled down her sweet face
As she whispered through the rain

“Am I pretty yet?
Do you want me now?
I’m so tired and it’s dark
Should I keep holding out?
Am I pretty yet?
Can you see me now?
I’ll keep waiting out here
Hope you come around”

She got home that December night
Left alone in the faded light
And for one painful moment she thought through it all
So naive, thought she’d never fall

“Am I pretty yet?
Do you want me now?
I’m so tired and it’s dark
Should I keep holding out?
Am I pretty yet?
Can you see me now?
I’ll keep waiting out here
Hope you come around”


They found a girl all dressed up in white
Ribbon in her hair, lifeless eyes
Just skin and bones lying in a bed
And in her hand was a note that said:

“Am I pretty yet?
Do you want me now?
I’m so tired and it’s dark
Should I keep holding out
Am I pretty yet?
Do you love me now?
I was waiting out here
But you let me down”

If writing ever becomes work I think I'm going to have to stop
