FADED QUEEN




A long gown of emerald green,
Her hair resting on her shoulders,
Life’s cup filled to brim with bitters.

She watched him dance…while she unseen…
The gal no longer on the screen.

Shattered heart in darkened chambers
Watched her night turn into cinders…
Sitting alone now sat the queen.

A faded rose with petals gone,
Now wore a look this slight had drawn.

More handsome then he looked in years,
She watched him dance but not with her,
With heart that quickly filled with tears,
She tried to see through eyes of blur.
