She Bought a Dress Yesterday by ~LocalMime:iconLocalMime:



She bought a dress yesterday,
Simple, red, and plain,
Spread across the bed,
Next to the pearls it lays.

Untouched, unwrinkled, in the window-light
The hand to raise it lost its strength,
Bow-tieing fingers no longer nimble.
Stiff, now, in the chilled air.

A winter's morning tries to bring day,
Curtains guard the night,
Sounds of a clock's alarm erupt from a table,
Routine, expected, common in every way,

The mirror knew her secret,
The tulips on the table did aswell,
Whispers had spread around the room,
I never heard them.

Not sure if I like the 2nd stanza, it doesn't really fit in. Edits will be coming. Feel free to share, as long as I am mentioned as orginal author.

After recieving a helpful comment, I looked around and took out a few words. 2-12-08
