Wedding Cake

The room is filled with joy and happiness

She gazes at the young couple laughing

When looking at the wedding cake, she thinks back

The love of her life stands beside her

He promises her a lifetime of joy

She believed him, she believed it would last

Time slips away before her very eyes

As she sees her reflection in the mirror, reality strikes

Her once auburn hair, now silver

The porcelain skin of a doll, now aged

This old lady looking back, is now me
