A lovely face, apparent in the spring

With softened eyes of growing youth and light

But crosser lines of life, will hardship bring

So guard the precious face while it's in sight

.

But how o'er thoughts of parting did tears flow

So hard for distraught narcissists to cope

With sad ideas, so why not let souls go?

A trade, we'll say, for beauty and it's hope

.

But time grows on, corruptions stain and bleed

A cruel stare contrasts charming outward smiles

And yet, inside the heart's been laid a seed

Of loathing, for this only thing defiles

.

And as the blade was thrust upon my chest

His wicked face engulfed the corpse at rest
