Loves Beauty Fades
~*~
Alluring veil of ebony lace
slumbering silently, masking tired eyes
Confiscating vehemently
every tear she cries
Words whispered from a forked tongue
gasping for a breath of disgrace
Jealousy of ghost past
nothing left, but to hide her face
Lies rip into the pages of her book
promises broken, left in dismay
The hues of pretty photographs
fade subtley away
Camouflaged love, encase in your denial and envy
bitterness surging through every vein
Damaged now, defective
she'll never be beautiful again.
