Alone in a crowded room
Detached from the goings on
Back against a wall
Staring out at everything and no one
Glass of wine in hand
Looking poised and proper
Fake little smiles are pulled up
When other guests go by
She thinks she has them fooled
Not really looking anyway
Little does she know he's watching
Seeing through her veil
Orchestra starts up
Couples moving across the floor
No one asks for her hand
Knowing she'd never say yes
The watcher knows this too
He takes away her glass
As she gives him a bored look
Leading her out to the floor
Eyes are upon the odd couple
Dancing gracefully through the crowd
She doesn't notice
Her mind finally focused
He leads her back to her place
Returning glass to hand
She looks puzzled, he smiles
"It was but a dance"

A Tragedy
You wanted the walls around my heart to crumble. Instead my heart crumbled when you left. Now you're back, expecting me to pick up the pieces. To hand my still bleeding heart back into your care.
It doesn't matter you were gone for only two days. They were a never ending eternity. Waiting and wondering. Another crack in my soul with each hour that went by. Waking up with nothing there from you.
Washing you out of my mind was harder than I expected. It's so easy to click delete but there's no delete key in my mind. You'd slip back in with ease and break me all over again.
I was so afraid you'd leave me. I thought I had prepared myself. I thought I had more time.
You left my soul screaming. Torn from the whole that was us. I watched it whither and decay in the blink of an eye. Now my soul is quiet. Watching the man who healed her. The one who left her the most wounded.
All the staircases and tunnels of my mind are gone. There's only a desolate plain. All the memories destroyed, burned until nothing was left. Only the pain and loneliness.
So where do we go from here? You want my heart, mind and soul? Pick up the pieces of my heart yourself. Have the wasteland of my mind to yourself. Take the withered remains of my soul with you.
Fix the mess you made when you left me behind.
