A Lonely Waltz
June 21, 2023
Sometimes, I imagine myself
Waltzing in a desolate ballroom.
The lavish room
Is corroded by time.
Dark and ghastly,
But still sparkling behind
A thin layer of grime.
I’d step in time with fanciful shoes
And nobody could refuse
While I swing and sway,
Dancing the night away.
And my arms would stretch and cup the air,
Or my fingers would run through silky hair,
Curls of gold resting upon
A shoulder coated in chiffon.
While I twirl and turn,
The silence burns.
Ringing out into the air,
Singing its eerie tune of despair.
Its everlasting song
Plays not for long.
