$100 Dress

You walk toward me
a vision of shattered humanity
filled with tears of rejection.

I wrap myself around you
try to soak away your heartbreak
remembering sorrows of my own.

I want to bring happiness
but all I know is to hold you
stroking your hair in sympathy.

You cry deeply
and tell me of all your pain
you will never look bad
in that $100 dress.
