How Did It Come To This?

I wore my heels and am all dressed to the nines

Funny it’s come to this after all our wine and dines.

I shouldn’t be here; this is such a special occasion

And I feel my presence is a bit of an invasion

I find my nametag, indicating my seat assignment

I sit, plop my elbow on the table and my chin on my fist, discontent

I’m sitting among strangers, all jovial and full of joy

Questioning me if I’m friends with the girl or the boy

These squatters are flying around my face like gnats

Gotta get to the open bar and away from these fat cats

After knocking a few down, I feel more stable

Another drink in hand, I find my way back to my table

Your mother stands and toasts you and your new brat

Bottoms up, I’ll drink to that

Your dad stands, teary eyed and clinks his glass

He’s so proud of you for landing your new lass

Here here! *glup* more please, my glass is feeling light

I’m just getting started; I could do this all night.

Matter of fact-*Clink, Clink* enough with the pointless chats

Cheers to you and your street-walker. Congrats!

No, don’t ya’ll even gasp and judge

There’s a past here-I don’t hold a grudge

But you don’t know the past between us three

The bride, the groom and me.

But they know, we know, I know and I won’t forget

You guys won’t even last 5 years, I bet

Cheers to you both, you deserve each other

Starting now, I will find another…so here-

The rest of this toast goes out to any single men

Find me after this toast in the middle of oblivion
I’ll be in the middle of the dance floor

Showing the groom what he can’t have anymore
