Fallen Venus
There is no more beauty left in this world.
Venus has fallen from her pedestal
To lie broken on the earth:
A shattered woman.
I lie here, so close
I can finally see you
Turning away from me
In disgust.
I can not reach you
To touch you
To call you back
To me
I lie here
Broken
Shattered
Flawed.
Attainable
And undesired.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder
And I am not beheld.
