The Uninvited Guest
A wedding lost to shadows
Dress of lace
Chantilly cream cake
Spying eyes with no face
Unwilling glances you take
Gazing from afar, my skin you trace
Haunting my shadows, you make my skin shake
Until crimson blooms on my dress of lace
Going to waste along with my Chantilly cream cake.
Dress of silk
Eyes peeping behind walls
Dress white as milk
Pushing veiled stares as my skin crawls
Dirtied dress of silk
As my body falls.
Dress of Tulle
Cake going untasted
It feels so cruel
Your appetite will never be sated
Jumping at shadows makes me a fool
Invisible stares have my steps hasted
My face blank as my body cools.
Dress of chiffon
Something feels wrong
The day I had been waiting for an eon
Ruined, one bride among the throng.
Dress unworn
Cake uneaten
Dreams torn
Hidden villain unbeaten
Unseen as a ghost
Delivering us our wedding toast.
