My Beauty, My Pain
My beauty,
Like a mirage you've gone,
Once adorned by all,
And once loved by all.
The street men would come and go,
I thought I own the world,
But now that I am old,
They have all gone.
Where is my fame?
It's gone because I have lost a good name.
Oh! What a shame I have to bear,
Does beauty comes with pain?
A question I ask every now and then.
Where is my beauty?
It's like a mirage,
And it's gone.
