Unhappily Ever After
Alone
She sits in her dress
Designer made original
For her special day
The presents are unopened
The cake hasn’t been cut
Her lipstick untouched
Her vows never shared
No guests remain
Remnants of an unsuccessful ceremony
Surround her
Crowd her
Her happily ever after
The prince of her dreams
The man who swore to never hurt her
The one she gave herself too…gone
The sun fills the room
As she sits at the piano
Where he practiced the song
He would sing to her today
She wanted a reason
All he gave her
Was a note
‘I’m not ready’ he wrote
She looked at her dress
Her perfectly styled hair
Her nails painted a pale pink
She wondered…why
No more tears fell
As she stood
Walked to the doors
Closing them behind her
Today was to be her wedding day
It was her beginning to a beautiful future
With the man she loved for so long
But it ended unhappily ever after
