The Bride's Ghost I was seated on my bed, Writing stories in my head. When the whispy curtains fled, From the window near my bed. My cat jumped from my side, When a light made me wide-eyed. When the light seemed to have died, There before me stood a bride. Her skin was marshmallow white, A bouquet she held so tight, And she glowed with eerie light. Tonight, was her wedding night. Poppy petals plunged primly, With each step she took grimly. She stared at me so dimly, Though dead, she was dressed trimly. And she just stood there weeping, Her groom was somewhere sleeping. Her dress, my floor was sweeping, Through my room, she was creeping. Then I asked for her own name, Then she sighed a sigh, so tame, She simply said, with her eyes aflame, 'I am dead, I have no name.' Why I was not scared at all, I cannot seem to recall. She was so calm and so tall, With each step, petals would fall. Whispy wedding wear she wore, Long ago, must have had tore, Her off-white gown swept my floor, She made her way to my drawer. From my window, I saw sun. Which meant her visit was done, Hopeless like a small orphan, Her color seemed to soften. She waved a solemn farewell, So, this story, I could tell. From my room, she did dispel. I would miss that ghastly belle. I never knew her own name, Nor did I know why she came. It really was such a shame, Just a memory she became. The curtains danced in the light, My pillow I held so tight. In flooded the morning light, The bride was no where in sight. I got up to brush my hair, And in my mirror, who was there? The bride with her skin so fair, She looked at me with such care. Then a man came into sight, He wore a bowtie of white. And a suit, a little tight. She looked at him with delight. He was her very own groom, I can only just assume. A smile came from her gloom, Her bouquet began to bloom. If a ghost-bride visits you, Know that their story is true. She doesn't want to scare you, She just wants to befriend you. If you have a night like mine, A shiver won't go up your spine. She's not there to scream and whine, But to tell her story line.
