Shashi Gupta

The stage was set, the music played
But my heart was heavy, warm tears washed my face
In a corner I stood, hidden from the eyes of all
The pain I felt, I couldn't share with others
Through glazed eyes I watched
As they danced with abandon, to our favourite tune.

You turned your back, and without a goodbye
You left my life and walked away
What was the reason, I still wonder why
The dance of life, came so suddenly to a halt.
The music screeched, deafening my eager ears
Listening for the sound of your footsteps on the dance floor.

What happened to the joyous days we shared
Locked up now are memories that haunt me so
Butterfly wings crushed under the feet of time
Some sunshine remains that dazzles my eyes
Leaden feet that remain fixed to the spot
Though the music plays, I've forgotten to dance.
