Fading Grace

oops
|
you kill me to possess
my radiant beauty
you take my beauty
and pull it from me
you hold me as your own
glance at me
set me on a pedestal
and watch as I fade and die
and when my beauty fails
you discard me
as useless clutter
the grace with which I used to move
has faded with the wind
my vibrant face, destroyed
my spirit flown away
as my essence seeps onto the unfeeling stone
beauty forgotten
faded grace
the life of the beautiful

yes, the beautiful are discarded when we have no use for them anymore. mind you the ugly are discarded pretty much straight away, i would know after all. but i understand that the beautiful are people too, and shouldn't be discarded in such a ruthless manner. the world needs more beauty, after all.

I am guessing you meant the word "flowers" as the very last word. I love it just the way it is. To me it sounds sort of like this poem I wrote but it is no longer on here. So many people can decide you either have an expiration date, they are hereby finished with you once your use is over. Hence, they "throw you out". Also, It sounds like an abusive / controlling spouse sucking the life out of you (uh, this person?). No matter what, it doesn't sound like a nurturing relationship. I find it to be an excellent poem. You are very talented.
Take care and blessings to you.
Tim

| Oops, also meant to add that along with that abuse, in the begining, she was young and vibrant (physically). We all age and some people can't seem to get pass the fact it happens to all of us. |
