Joker Scare

Dermal atrophy abated
Crows and creases toxified
Final look not contemplated
Alien just like you died

Flowers never reconstructed
Perfect beauty quickly fades
Aging process you obstructed
Mirror damaged thought invades

No way to see yourself again
Face frozen stare distorted
Looking back the joker grins
A novel look turned horrid
