Ironic Beauty
Within her walls she's going
Little by little subtly she's fading
A pretty being of golden clay
Where does her secret lay?
She moves her legs with graceful pace
Follow her not to her shadowed place
Where no eyes see and no ears hear
Oblivion drowns away her fear
Lay siege her mind ambushed by vile
"Save me", her cry silenced by bile.
Self destruction. She's ravished but quiet
No one knows her emotional diet
Beneath the veil an awful sight
Not the beauty queen of radiant light
About this poem
Once upon a time I had a secret no one would believe of me. The impossible they think is the possible I lived.
