She daydreams
in multicolour
Delusions of a life she craved.
A past forgotten
Only fragments
of her memory remain.
She stops
to watch the children play.
In pantomime
being other than they are
masks and masquerade.
she stands frozen.
She understands
the meaninglessness of life
staring starkly at her from afar.
No-one told her
life was going to be this way.
She stands frozen.
Pondering another time
A different existence.
Once she had beauty
on her side.
Once she had felt alive,
yet
time has a cruel way
of creeping upon her
and stealing youth away.
