Love for Looks
Together for years, she loved him so,
Never a doubt in her mind of her precious find,
Hand in hand, travelled through blazing infernos
They were as one, as one would define
His elfin grin was what she fell for
How he spoke from his heart, without words
Dark and mysterious as the ocean floor
Yet delicate as a humming bird
Now as she grows old, her skin begins to fold,
He showed her something she never anticipated,
As the flower started to wilt,
It wasn't worth watering anymore
