Lost Beauty

Photo by author

The pressure of decades is cleared on her face
A visage that once shone like a moon
Today has deteriorated under the crushing pressure of years
She had a young, beautiful, charming look not less than a queen
But today, she is old
Everything has gone except for hope
The worst thing for her
Her pride also has fallen like her beauty
Once the point of attraction now is a burden
She has lost the sweetness of her voice
Her pedestrian walk changes to a yearly distance
Young one’s pride in their beauty
But she knows the truth of life now
Beauty lies in character, not in appearance
Appearance can be lost with time
But not the character
