Fading of Beauty

Why- why does beauty never last?

the softness of our skin fades as we age, eyes once bright and vibrant, now dull and grey.

Every wrinkle on our forehead tells a story of all the worries that we’ve ever had, and the circles under our eyes the sleepless nights.

Tears that we have cried over the years that we have tried to over come so many hard times, and lips once silky and smooth have lost luster.

Cracked and pruned with smile lines still upon the cheeks ever so sweetly tis’ true. Our hair was shiny and brilliant.

Time token so soon, everything is so brittle even our nails are breaking too, I can’t help but cry because life is hastily ticking by.

An ache of watching as we grow, realizing there’s nothing we can do to take it slow, these years are not kind and I’m not ready to leave anyone behind.
