when the masquerade ends

bad people
don't seem to age well.

or maybe it's just how i look
at them.

no longer
under their spell.

they look older than their
years.

consumed with the darkness
of their soul.

having made every
wrong move.

the years wear heavy on them
with youth gone.

the masquerade
of beauty over.

the only thing left
in their eyes is fear.
