Utter Loss

The music sang sweet songs to me as I danced the night away,
The beat of the melody controlled me as the night passed without
delay.
My yearning heart was filled with hope, soothing my needs and
desires,
An uncontrollable passion burned me within, causing erruptions and
fires.
Faces old and new appeared, each one wearing a truthful smile,
Happiness filled the air that night, or atleast it did for a
while.
Suddenly the music turned sour, and I was governed by pain,
The night stood still, not a second passed, and I felt my contentment
drain.
The hope my heart had contained before quickly transformed into
despair,
For this image my eyes had fallen on was more than I could possibly
bare.
You were no longer on your own, but deeply involved in another,
I can't believe you gave no hints, it took me so long to
discover.
This heart that held you so highly was plumiting to the floor,
This soul that had rejoyced you had no life any more.
I stood and watched this scene reluctantly and devestated,
I gradually became more and more tense and exasperated.
When I could bare this sight no more I turned my back to you,
But this picture was printed in my mind and soul, and in my heart
to.
