Everyone loved you,
But no one knew you at all.
You lived in the spotlight,
But longed for the dark,
You hated the fame,
It tore you apart.
You hated the jobs,
It was all so phoney,
The only reason you did it,
Was for the money.
Tahiti was your paradise,
Your solace from the cold,
Your shelter from the public,
You couldnt be consoled.
The rumours,
The lies,
The gossip,
Theyre all cancer.
The wild dogs of the press
Tore you apart,
Ripped you up,
And spat you out.
You grew old,
No one cared,
You were alone,
You died,
And suddenly people cared,
You were a legend,
A genius, unshared.
They cried for you,
Their false tears of sadness,
They remember your work,
They remember your name.
Time elapses,
And youll be forgotten once again,
Sink to the depths of Hollywood,
Trodden on,
And spat out again.

I have found his life and work to be fascinating. So sad and yet so powerful.
Wonderful tribute.
