Getting Old

When did it happen?
I recall a coqueta (flirt) cutie
In a topless black classic
Headed out for tomorrow

Had the world
In my fabulous bosoms
And my furious hair

Now the fates came to question my ways
So I'm a witness
To my dying young friends
All failing
of Heart,
of Blood,
of Spririt
Damned Spirit

I see the young old eyes
On young old faces
Those confidants - loved ME
They were not that OLD!

Perhaps this is why
I go to lover and cry
Thinking of them
Will I demise soon?

Hold me now
While I'm here
Always see the lustful me
See the girl who shouts in the streets

Just want to get young
Just want one more night
Of wicked laughter and sinister frolic
With a tempting moon as my guide

Getting old is worse than death
It's a cruel joke
With a voiceless good bye

I have only my genius to declare!

gah, you know..

I'm still pretty young but
I feel so old..

As I grow,
I notice how time just glides by
so fast..

It's really not a matter of age,
i figure..
it's what you've been through..

astounding write, I'm saving it.
