An ageless beauty
Staring into a cracked mirror
Every day a reminder of a youth gone by
The lines etched into her skin
Battle scars of a life lived
Memories surround
The only reminders of what could’ve been
Had one choice been different
But, alas
The past can’t be manipulated
Repercussions left as a remnant
One piece of a broken heart
Of the woman who stares back

Very introspective for such a young woman!

Thank you. I try to get inside the head of every character that I write about. This was based off of a character in a story that I’ve been toying with recently.
