The Black Dress
The dress pulled me in
I couldn't breathe
It wrapped around me with no room to escape
I wanted out
There was nowhere to go
Everyone was staring
Waiting for my next move
I could feel their eyes making the dress even tighter
I lost my bestfriend
Wherever I went he was there
We danced in the sun and danced in the rain
I can't move on
I could see his golden eyes telling me to stay strong
The way he smiled made me never want to stop smiling
I started to run
Breaking free of the dress
I could feel my breath getting heavier
My heart was pounding out of my chest like drums
The tears stream down my face and crush my heart
He is gone

I was inspired to write this peom in honor of my aunt who's husband past away. My uncle was a very important person in my life and his death had a big effect on my aunt. I hope people might be able to relate to this poem and feel the pain that surrounds death.
