Fading eyes...Fading innocence...

My reflection fades from day to day,
Minutes screaching past rapidly...
Priceless
Eternal
Youthful beauty....
gone...

The heart, mind, soul all feel
Young
Immortal
Full of life..
Yet my reflection fades from day to day...

The older that I become,
the harder it is to see
ME.....
I am becoming
A face
that I fear...
.....Mother's.....

The mirror is not merciful
Relentless
Rude
It shows me
Unbecoming
Unpretty
Un.. young..

The seconds screach past
whirring near my ear
It's backdraft lashing at my face
and my soul..
Harshly
Torturously
Unrelenting.....

Dare I look once more
Into the eyes of death
Mine own eyes
Staring back at me
Aging
Old
........my Mother's eyes.....

Staring
Haunting
Hurting
Why must I see those eyes

When I look for at me....
Fading eyes
Fading innocence
Fading youth
Fading....disappearing quickly
creeping into the depths
of nothingness....
They are nearly
Gone....

My eyes....
