Formositas

I was down at the bar
Just last night
Saw the most beautiful
Stunning woman
That mankind could ever behold

She took a liking to me
We talked for hours
Her seductive eyes
Enjoying the play

No need to act
I knew how this would end
She wanted it all
So I gave it

Forty years of living
All for this
All for her

Or so she thought

Later

When I lay sated
Her quiet beside me
I recalled her last question

Why

It was simple really

All beauty must die
