Tarnished

They wait
ever so patiently waiting
'til the sand of the hour glass begins to distress
patience giving way to desperation
as they claw at strangers
screaming words
"love me! love me!"
unconsciously, a euphemism
for another, far less appropriate
once delicate damsels
now devoted to decadence
destined to decay deserted
'tis a fitting end for those
jewels, once so resplendent
now so tarnished by time
life
reality

I'm an observer. 'nuff said. O_o

Peace!
