Wedding Dress

 

I’m looking out over the dead garden

Ghost of what could have been

You looked like dusk in that wedding dress

I promised what I’ll never get the chance to say

 

Our child would laugh

You said he had my eyes

I swore they’ve got too much summer in them

They must be yours

He won’t ever be

He’ll never call you mother

 

Frost on the glass pane

I’ll leave a letter in the ash

When the rain turns to snow

Will she know?

I never meant to go

powerfully intimate piece of love lost. I definitely got the feeling of despair and loss. Great write!

Thank you Hollow Man for sending me this read request!!!

The poem took me in with a powerful lead line. Then the poem got stronger. You took me on a field trip with your words. A lot of hidden story in the poem. A outstanding poem. This is a poem you must read a few times. Thank you.

I have read this three times now, and each time I gain a little more, of what i'm none to sure, a sad poem for sure, is it death that tore away the love, or a wanton heart? Whichever, it's a good poem
