The eternal waltz

flakes of shimmering glass
etching deep grooves in ,my heart...
the thick blood oozes out
and trickles down ever soo slowly

I gasp for breath
as the paleness spreads through my being

I stretch my bony fingers
with dead white nails
and raspy yellow skin

i reach out...
with all the force that is left in me
i try to touch him....
but he evades me

the ends of his
silk shirt
whisps past me..
blowing a cold air
of rejection

I watch his shaddow
as it waltzes away in her arms.
the dim candle light
magnifying each step.....

i watch........
my heart is already frozen
the fine shrapnnels of my broken glassy dream
are surging through my veins

ahh. a jagged edge
just logged itself
in the corners of my eyes
cutting my tear ducts
as my derelict soul
sinks through the floor cracks...

so cry for me...............
