Crumbling Beauty

Crumbling beauty An Acropolis actress A scar upon her hand Reminds me of the darkness Of a far and distant land A land of dark beauty Never meant to age Trapped inside a rusted cage Left there to decay The men they came and went But never left a dime Their duty done, it was Never considered a crime And when she became pregnant Where was Romeo then? An arrow through his heart And a pen within his hand? But letters he never wrote And birds fell at his feet As he walked upon the Seine Nostradom just a shadow Upon his cold dark heart She sits and waits for someone Hopeful of him But is left to be gazed upon By inferior men She’s just a crumbling beauty No need for respect She’ll stand there till the end of time And disappear speck by speck. Until all that's left is the dust upon the ground And then she’ll rise again And sashay back into town.
