For Sale.. Wedding Dress Never Worn

For Sale.. Wedding Dress Never Worn

The title tells the tale I guess
For sale  ‘one unused wedding dress’
It’s  silky  skirt trails on the floor
forlornly hanging on the door
The shoes still have the price tag on,
they cost a bomb! – what have you done?
Gossamer veil  now looks so sad,
the prettiest dress I never had….
A  sexy  garter, virgin white,
all ready to be seen tonight,
and underwear that makes me blush
all bought in such a mighty rush.
I loved to think I’d be a bride
with you my darling, by my side.
The church was booked, the breakfast too,
the cars and flowers of every hue,
the music chosen to portray
our happy happy wedding day.
A dream come true  I thought, until,
you phoned this morning,  and I still
cant quite believe the words you said,
you told me that your love was dead.
You met another one now she,
Is destined very soon to be
the one who’s going to wear your ring
and have your kids and everything!
So  what’s there left for me to say?
But advertise it on E-Bay!

Thanks Steviec.. I love to move through all gentres of writing- serious, sad, happy ,well just about anything that holds the readers interest- thats what its about I guess and I hate snobbery in poetry.. if you dont ring the changes then the work gets a bit 'samey' , predictable and boring I think- Thanks for your lovely words- appreciate it! xx
