Glitter
Glitter on her skin
Dark brown eyes
Luscious crimson red lips
Desire, anticipation
Lust disguised as love
Oh, really?
Every inch alluring
Stirring desire
Perfectly beautiful
Beauty is priceless
Cannot be measured
Undefined by words
She walks flawlessly
Every head turning
She glowing with pride
Every eye stares
Obviously envious
For who could equal her?
Spotlight centered on her
Paparazzi taking pictures
What more could she ask for?
Looks, diamonds, money
She has everything
But does it count?
When beauty fades
When the credits roll
When the money is gone
When they turn the lights off
When they stop cheering
When they all look away
Look in the mirror
Pretty, aren’t you?
Sure, you are
But beauty fades
Credits roll
Everything changes
Does it really matter?
Material things vanish
Where did all the glitter go?
