That Dress
I hate that dress, I loved it once.
I wore it for our first prom dance.
Ruby –red with sleeves of gold,
You on my arm, a dream to behold
My head said no but my heart said yes
I hate that dress. I loved it. Once,
when we first met and love was new.
I would have done anything, for you.
Then suddenly everything went wrong
You tried to change me, my life- my song.
I hate that dress I loved. I once again,
became, full of grief and pain.
Years on, I pack to start my new life
As my darling husband, Tonys’ wife
I find, to my distress. The very thing
I hate. That dress. I loved it once.
