your teeth once gleaming
 now dull and stained

your hair once full
 now thinned away

your skin once smooth
 now weathered and worn

your eyes once sharp and peircing
 now blood shot and yellow

your lips once full and lush
 now receding away

your voice once deep and gruff
 now a croaking hush

your touch once strong and sure
 now that of a dismembered corpse...
