BEAUTIFUL

By Silent_Raven

hello, everyone...um, please let me know what you think about this, id' really appreciate any feedback! thanks!


You were so beautiful,
My morning goddess
Dressed only in the admiration
I served you on a silver platter.
Your golden glow,
Translucent in the cheery sun,
Beautified you.
How, then, did you become this monster?
Slowly, inching as time went by,
You weathered;
Your shimmer died,
Your love grew stale,
Your neglect dried us up,
Until finally
My reverential worship for you crumbled,
Exposing the hideous truth:
You are naked now,
Stripped of all your outer lies,
Nude and exposed before me,
An ugly inner demon
Lapping at your wounds.
You petty wench,
All the beauty you possess
Is held within my dying memories.
Who are you to me, now?
Your superficial splendor
Has long since died away;
Why should I love you still?
I clung to you
Until you pried me off, and now-
And now you alone are left
To gather up your bloody rags
Still dripping from the love you tore from me.
I laugh at you now,
Pathetic, writhing worm,
Naked and beaten
Since I abandoned you.
Who will you turn to now?
Go forth, then, and find another fool
To dress your ugly heart
And veil your poisoned pain
In blinded passion.
