Beauty
Cursed with an eye for beauty.
Shallow like an almost
dry mud puddle, I feel with my eyes.
I will be alone with my memories
of all the faces I loved.
Never cared about the heart or soul
except now I'm getting old,
the exterior fades, what I want
won't want me sooner then later.
I could fucking cry.
The shallow mud puddle is almost dry.

Beauty Full sadness, (which is what "it all" is.)
I cry of "this" as well.
(Would it were i could cry "with" you)

Dear N,
Sharp focused truth with this write. Fading beauty is a rough passage to cross. I’m putting stock in the notion that I’ll die before I really have to be totally alone. I can hardly stand the thought of it but it’s sobering none the less. Reflective poem. Brutal but very reflective. I think I better start being nicer to my friends and family...just in case...

I like you because you’re shallow
I respect you because you have substance, boundaries, experience, self awareness
I admire you because you balance that
We’re friends because you’re never ashamed of that. That’s what makes you strong, Scheherazade.
(Also, shallow with super-smart and curious is interesting. That’s a unique spice. Most shallow is droll.)

Also, book on my shelf titled “Survival of the Prettiest”. I re-read the conclusion chapter once a week. I should scan the pages and email them to you

Your piece connects with those of us facing this whole aging thing a little more close (I mean we all age) but understanding that everything changes on the outside, emotional beauty glows brighter, in our eyes, in our smiles, in our character.
It's a beautiful write because it's so relatable.
