Apr 2020
In the corner of a dark cupboard, there you hang
In your own memories, waltzing to the song you once sang

Pearls and lace dripping from your sides
Lost within your own darkness, there you reside
Echoes of the laughter and tears from that day
Now louder than whispers, they become screams..... as you decay

Your train sharing kisses in lost rivers
Now those kisses leave your bodice in shivers
On that day, you shone brighter than the moonlight
And now.... out of mind and out of sight

You represent all the perfection in loves kiss
But now locked away in the dark, it’s life you’ll miss
Something old, something new
Something borrowed and something blue

The body you once hugged has shrunk to bone
Surrounded by love yet so alone
She didn’t know this would be the story
The knight became the dragon in all of its glory
As you begin to gather dust
The same body that wore you, will begin to trust.
