I Need a New Dress
I NEED A NEW DRESS
Abandonment
comes in many dresses.
Fashion pain
and tattered seams.
I never believed
that from
old patterns torn,
that you would leave me
withered and worn.
Once you wove
fine lace for me.
I felt safe.
Secure.
Cherished and more.
Now years later
after children
and time.
You have clothed
me with nothing becoming,
and nothing so fine
