She was heart achingly beautiful in her youth
and sexy beyond belief, a living dream many
men dreamed of being with.
Now men who see her just see an unappealing
mishapen, sexless old woman, more like a
nightmare than a dream, and none of them
dream of being with her anymore.
Yet, somehow, she doesn’t seem to care
about the loss of her allure, and I don’t know
how she accepts the loss of her beauty
that amazed men all over the world.
It had to be more devastating than losing
a million fortunes in a disastrous day.
Maybe her mind is more beautiful in it’s
own way, and she sees that beauty is
only superficial and a temporary
treasure in this passing existence
and just doesn’t care about it, like all
those foolishly infatuated men did.
