Catherine Reinke Poet Free verse

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
