An Anniversary Acrostic
A day intended for celebration
Now may be a day doomed for infamy
Nightmare to replace my dearest daydream
Invitations already sealed and sent
Veil and white lace dress already purchased
Empty tear ducts of potential heartbreak
Releasing grip to extend open hands
Suspended and awaiting sovereignty
Am I flying, floating, or free falling?
Resolve is my vulnerability
You choose if we belong to yesterday
Author’s Note: This was written for Real Poetic’s Anniversary challenge.
