A Former Rose Of The Town

A victim of time the town's former rose
She has put on weight and outgrown her younger years clothes
With dark brown hair dye she cloaks her gray
She is not attractive to men today

A twice divorced grandmother to two abusive males she was a good wife
Nowadays she does not have a man in her life
In her younger years a brown eyed beauty with shoulder length wavy hair of dark brown
Admired by many young men as the rose of the town

Unrecognizable from the attractive young woman she was years ago
Of all physical beauty time becomes the foe
Her choice of possessive and assertive males did not serve her well
On her fifteen years combined of two abusive husbands she made life for herself hell

In her mid sixties better days she has known
She feels happier nowadays living on her owns
For to be in a relationship she does not feel the need
In we learn as we live a truism indeed

Going back in time four decades or so
In human years this seems a long time ago
She was the young rose of the town back then
But she did pay her price for her wrong choice in men.
