The Torn Dress - What Would You Have Done

It seems beauty
Walks through a door
Which has a nail
She didn't see...

It snags and pulls
Until she is left with a lace
Dress torn to pieces.

Naked in a room
Filled with people...
Her man leaves;
She stands alone
As he walks away.

He thinks
She has unveiled On purpose and never
Gives her a chance
To explain.
