Rose had
not lived a charmed life by any means,
she had come into town some years back,
everything she owned inside a worn, vintage bag
Her travel down life's winding roads had revealed
many harsh secrets of mankind, some laughed and
called her a drama queen behind her back
She would walk miles to town to perform, her happiest
times were spent play acting a dramatic role, she would
recite her lines with great passion one had to admire
Her fabulous flair, her wish to always be in the spot
lite, she had made some friends with a few others
who were considered eccentric, some say they believe
she was just a lively soul with a lot of passion
Her journey through life had also found her now
weeping, unable to breath without pain, on what was
to be her Wedding Day, Rose found herself jilted by
her intended
A man with such charisma, tall, with wavy black hair
that hung in ringlets on his forehead, muscular and
handsome she was sure he would make her every wish
come true
Placing all the trust she had in him, gladly giving
him the money she'd saved from her house cleaning work,
money he told her he was using for a down payment, on
a pretty little house just out side of town
A house they would make home, he'd sworn to love and
cherish her forever, oh the unbridled bliss she felt as
she pictured their lives together, she was certain, if it
were not for the long heavy gown she would fly away
Time for ceremony came and went, the flowers she
held in her hands now lay wilted and dieing, like
her heart was
One by one the guests quietly left the church
that day, some mumbling she was probably better
off without him, some, their eyes brimming with
tears, embraced her with a tender hug
No one in the church was left untouched, by the
heart breaking role Rose had played this day.
