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.
