A white satin dress
So simple,
So bold,
Now lies in my closet,
Stained and old.

Fell off the hanger,
All wrinked in a ball.
That dress is now forgotten.
And it's fading like us all.

The author's comments:
I was inspired to write this piece through a beautiful picture of an antique white dress. It was beautiful and made me light up and think for a moment about the story that could lie behind the dress. I was pulled in you could say.

the way this was written, I would never want to see anyone wear that dress. i didn't really catch from this piece what was so captivating about this dress to you, sounded random.
