“Loves Masquerade”

My heart
My dreams
My destiny
All come crashing to the ground
Like a glass chandelier
Shattering upon a ballroom floor

The music once filled my veins
Making me whole
Whenever I was near you

I loved you more
Then life itself
Or anything else
Within this world

Moving with the sounds
Life with you carried on
As though I was living
Within a never ending dream

We danced with the rhythm
Letting it sweep us away
To place of wonder
To a place of love

But as all things
Even dreams must end
You stopped the dance
While the music still played

I was left alone

Emptiness filled my heart

I was alone

Despair filled my soul

I am alone

You will not return

I am still alone

Alone…

As the music plays
And others do their dance
I stand amidst them all
Waiting for a partner
That shall never come

And couples dance
As one

I no longer sway to music
Nor crave its sweet sounds
For they were created by you
And you false love

To find another to dance
To the sounds of a new melody
To bring true love to my heart

To finally bring an end
To all that was before
All I felt
All I knew
To you
And your loves masquerade

It's too bad I'm not as wonderful a person as people say I am, because the world could use a few people like that.
I've learned that even when you th

beautiful....thats all i can think of sayin to describe this piece. sometimes we're all blind to the fact that that special person isnt all dat special. im sure the light will shine too brightly for u to ignore it, no matter how tightly u shut ur eyes to it!

I'm not sure exactly what it was about this poem that made me love it so much, but I think it's absolutely beautiful!! The end of it almost brought a tear to my eye, so you obviously wrote it very well. This is going into my library. I hope you get happy.

"I was left alone

Emptiness filled my heart

I was alone

Despair filled my soul

I am alone

You will not return

I am still alone

Alone…"

Those verses striked me greatly with power and emotion [I related...]

VERY heartfelt and sincere expression. *sigh*
