Happy Birthday

Her skin is turning grey
Time has caught up to her
as well as the reality
she can't be a size 2 forever

Her child stopped loving her years ago
(being ignored didn't suit them,
I suppose)

The men she depended on
to worship her 
found younger and more confident women
(and one found a dashing lad)

She's all alone and bitter as hell
Still confounded that nobody loves her
despite the fact she only loved others
when it suited her
