My Beautiful Dress
I spend all class watching you
Hoping
Praying
you would pay attention to me
and you did
My cheeks rosy with joy when you walked my way
I wore a black dress
and you said I looked beautiful in it
I spend all day with you
Hoping
Praying
you would ask me out on a date
and you did
The question escaping from your full red lips softly as a butterfly’s touch
I wore the black dress you said I looked beautiful in
I sat in the hospital room with you
Hoping
Praying
the cancer results would come back negative
but they didn’t
Your hair once so thick and golden now slowly falling off
I wore the black dress you once said I looked beautiful in
I spent all my wishes on you
Hoping
Praying
you would get better
but you didn’t
I walked to your cold lifeless body
the red lips I once kissed now pale and cracked open
I wore the black dress you once said I looked beautiful in
Now I spend all my weekends on you
Hoping
Praying
you would come back
but you didn’t
no one sees my cold lifeless body
wrists once so perfectly clean now stained with scars
I wore the black dress you once said I looked beautiful in
Now I spend all eternity with you
Dancing
Singing
I hoped we could meet again
and we did
Our smiles framed on our healthy faces and our steps light and happy
I wore a white dress you said I looked beautiful in
