The Wedding Gown

Into the sleeve I tucked my arm,

admiring the dress flimsy charm

as it wrapped itself around my waist

in creamy elegance I could almost taste.

Around my legs it billowed out

with layers of netting all about,

it sparkled and shimmered richly gold

with every dip of its luxurious fold.

Oh, dress that made me feel like royalty,

why could you not ensure his loyalty?

His love was not supposed to rust,

why did he trample it in the dust?

The dress that shimmied, sparkles no more,

and love is no longer what it was before.
