Tears of the forgotten art

i have seen the centuries past,
i have spoken without words,
i have tears i can not cry,
i have skin unmoisterised

once they see, they forget,
once they blink, they do not see,
once they pass, they forget,
once they know, they do not mention

my seriousness is in vain,
my frame is not sheltered,
my heart yearns for more,
my beauty undesired

all i want is love,
all i ask want is true,
all i ask is to look upon,
to make my oil setteled, just just like you
