The Life Of A Party Girl
19 October, 2005
Author: Mark Spencer
She had always been beautiful,
And the center of attention.
The whole world revolved around her,
And developed her pretension.
One party after another,
Consumed the first half of her life.
Until the day she turned forty,
She didn’t want to be a wife.
She was still very beautiful,
And had her choice of any man.
She wed a man of twenty three,
And that’s when her troubles began.
Her husband was very handsome,
And knew she was getting older.
By the time she was fifty three,
Their marriage had gotten colder.
Her beauty had all but faded,
And her husband found someone new.
Leaving her on a lonely road;
The kind of path she never knew.
She no longer had her choices,
About the company she kept.
And if anyone asked her out,
She’d always gratefully accept.
There were no people in her life,
She had no children of her own.
And because of selfish choices,
Her final years were spent alone.
Alcohol aided her escape,
To forget the path she now strode.
She blamed everyone but herself,
For putting her upon this road.
She passed away one autumn morn,
Alone in her hospital bed.
The nurse could find no next of kin,
To notify that she was dead.
Once she was very beautiful,
As flawless as a perfect pearl.
But happiness cannot be found
In the life of a party girl.
If your beauty is bewitching,
Know that is only your veneer.
What’s underneath is all that lasts,
Everything else will disappear.

Sadly, for some, it is too late by the time they realize they are no longer in the loop. I’ve see a lot of people like this die alone and unhappy. Thank you again Megan. |
