No Longer Icing

two dancing silhouettes, lurking in the shadows fireflies spark like static in the air a dream that bloomed from a far-fetched delusion, a love that demands lifelong care. i trip on the train of her white-laced dress, hoping some man might catch my fall. how typical of me, to make a mess, then run away before time can take it all. i envy the love i always crave. i wish it was me but the brick wall in my mind won’t let me stay. wine glasses, once sweet with cake and cheer, lie shattered on the floor. a dream dissolved by the one thing I feared so they all slammed the door. it’s clear i’m scared of a lifelong vow my trust is frayed, and my heart’s not in it now. so why do i still long for what i push away? there’s no more icing on the cake. i dropped the bouquet.
