You used to be beautiful

Topic: goodbyepoetry

You used to be beautiful.

With strawberry scented smiles
Blueberries dying your hair
You could defeat the world.

Curling around inside your mind
Was doubt of the love the world would give
To someone such as you.

The tears falling from your screams
Were not around back then.
They were kept away from later times.

Can you see how much you did?
You could change the life of a couch.
However, you never knew what you were doing.

Hair a mess and shirt all wet
You slid down the hill on a garbage lid.
I followed, knowing only good could come.

But take a look at yourself now
Strung up, used up and tied up
To a life, you never asked for.

Beaten down and stepped upon
You sink into the walls around you.
They take, take, and never give back.

Nevertheless, you used to be beautiful.
Oh yes you used to be beautiful.
Now all used up and wasted away...

My worst fear. Gotta get edumacated and start living for real before I fall apart. This was so sad, and a little frightening. Blessings.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
