Rugged and strong with melting eyes,
followed and adored by women of all ages.
Flirting for attention, he would give them hope,
when all that happened was a ballooning of his ego.
Money lavishly spent to maintain such facade,
in designer suits and lifetime gym membership.
He strutted life's stage, always demanding
and none could ever fulfill his cravings.
But time has its own manner of dealing with pride
and he had no picture to bestow the fountain of youth.
