Poetry: A girl I know

In the mirror, she looks back,
A girl I used to know...

Yet her face is aged and weathered.
Her brow is permanantly down.

Her blue eyes have lost their lustre,
the twinkle has long gone.
Each wrinkle tells a story
and each line a long recant.

The years have not been forgiving
the hardhsips that she has surpassed,
it is really then no wonder,
that her smile is forgone?

Where did the time escape to?
When did the years pass by?
It all went oh so suddenly
to this finally and last goodbye...

    But she's accepting of her fate.
    Her hair is thinning, her neck shows age
    And yet she shows

    Her Silence Speaks Volumes

    She sits alone in her room and stares out the window
    Viewing the world with silent disdain
