rachel, rachel

rachel, dear,

i wonder if that dress is appropriate?

and what is that smudge i see on your cheek?

you're not wearing any perfume, are you?

and your hair could be tied tighter.  let me help.

your friend will be here soon

so there's not a lot of time to change

into something more appropriate,

don't you agree?

and to wash your face,
don't you agree?

i can imagine your father, if he were alive,

having one of his fits if he could see you now.

are you still haunted by his memory?

yes, maybe if he hadn't died in this house,

but still,

maybe you wouldn't be so lonely if you would listen
to me
more often, rachel.

are you cold?

rachel, rachel.

don't be out too long.
it's not good for you,
don't you agree?
