at the stroke of midnight
you can find her there
the lady in the white dress
with flowers in her hair
it seems her heart is broken
laying shattered on the floor
for her true love was taken
outside the chapel door
she waits outside the chapel
as she does most every night
the lady in the white dress
ended her own life
her flowers are all wilted
her dress is stained with blood
she's waiting through eternity
for her one true love

Very good but sad poem. Reminds me of the Charles Dickens story, and the "Great Expectations," character Miss Havisham, having been made a fool of, and being left at the alter, and never removing her wedding gown...:)

THANKS WILLY ~ For a beautiful but sad Fantasy story ~ but it does happen in real life ! Friends of mine have been jilted at the Altar or their partner has died just prior to the wedding or just after. I am pleased to report that in all the four cases that come to mind the one left behind recovered and went on to marry another and is still happily married. However the experience in each case left an indelible mark. Thanks for sharing BRIAN
