• The doors open
    The lights dim
    She walks in
    Proud and content

    She sees him
    Across the floor
    She struts
    Over to him

    The dance begins
    They twirl
    Her red dress
    Swishing and swaying

    His tie
    Tied messy
    He doesn't care
    Neither does she

    They move
    As if time
    Has stopped
    And no one's there

    The clock strikes12:00
    And no one notices
    When her gown
    Turns back into rags

    She closes her eyes
    Turns around
    And fades into the crowd
    Never to be seen again.
