Luxury Personifed
Gold champagne glass
Seats in first class.
Platinum jewelry
Self-written eulogies.
Silver ball gowns
Euros and pounds.
Money can’t buy love
Unless there’s enough.
Tea at the cafe
Every day’s payday.
If only Luxury
Could build her own legacy.
She wonders, if only
She wasn’t so lonely.
Months turn to years
Soon, hopes become fears.
She befriends Envy
They drive in their Bentleys.
She gives, Envy takes
Their friendship is fake.
Luxury suffers
She begs for a lover.
Chocolate and honey
Turns into money.
She pays for her dates
For pearly white gates.
She wants to feel safer
Her voice starts to waver.
Surrounded by drugs
Can’t buy herself hugs.
She takes her last breath
Sheltered by Death.

I was given an assignment to personify an abstract noun. Luxury instantly came to mind, and thus, this poem was born.
