Piece Of My Mind

Lonely

The dance floor was empty. There in the center of the room i sway side to side slowly with my love. Balloons bob against the celling, they drift betwixt low hanging decorations. In the front of the room under a "Welcome to Prom" banner the band played away.

I was dressed in a crisp all white suit and She wore a lovely white silky dress. Our bodies pressed so close i could feel her heart beating. My head rested on her shoulder and her's was buried in my chest. "I will always love you....you are my world." I told her as she looked up revealing a Null face. It was like i was holding a mannequin ...absolutely hollow. I look around the room and strange shadows blossom into existence. The girl in my embrace fades away as the shadows fade into people dancing.

Now i stand in the room alone but surrounded by others. My suit was black....darker than starless night sky.
My legs buckled and i fell on my knees looking up into the slow spinning disco ball. My head throbbed to the rising beat. The music was ramping up, the slow paced R&Bish tune turned to heaving hitting metal.

Shadowy smoke swirls around me in the form of thick blackish tendrils. I look down and see my hands turning to ash and embers. Like the sun i erupt into a mass of fire. The world turns to cinders around me. So fragile it was, the pillars holding this world came toppling down revealing it's true nature.

The veil had not simply been lifted but torn down leaving nothing but a desolate wasteland. At the source was my trembling cold and ashen husk.
This time i was watching from another Persons eyes. I pitied the monster in the dust but knew to stay away. He looked at me with hate in his eyes and sneered. That warped grin is forever etched into my mind.
