Forever 
by Ela Lourenco

The first day of forever

It was supposed to be.

The perfect morning

After the fairytale.

Decked in diamonds and white

Looking into each other’s eyes

Forever was so close

I could taste it.

A wrong turn down the hall,

Muffled moans was all it took

For my forever to dissolve

Into nothingness.

Hopes and dreams bled away

As I quietly went back to the

Bridal suite.

The next day I sipped on the coffee for two

A single red rose perched on the tray.

My forever lies cold and still

In the bed next to me.

He shouldn’t have ruined my wedding day…
