A mask Unworn

A mask of beauty lays upon the desk

For it has not yet been applied

Sat at the mirror the reflection is a blur

Tears cease on their departure

 

Told of only ones beauty

She is not that one

Hidden and forgotten

Keys longed for

Unlocking of the door is not so

the mask of beauty sits untouched

smudged and rained on

 

Beauty fades

from color to grey and white

Shattered is the mask

lays upon the floor

broken and  never worn

so nice idea in this poem...Even the mask is beautiful, its stays untouched, because identity is stronger...very well written!

A powerful poem with a sad story. I had to read a few times to catch the complete poem.
"Told of only ones beauty
She is not that one"
Strong words told a story of beauty that will fade with time. A excellent poem.
