the wedding

i forced myself to go
my slivered hands
my mascara smudged and dripping down my face
i sat in my ripped lace eating your wedding cake
with the plastic figures smiling as my tears drip on my lips
your soul calls to me with your hands gripping her waist
your voice in my head so sweet it tortures me
summer in your hair
i crawl under the table
frosting in my hair
holding my aching heart
