Silence hangs in the air
Locked eyes, comforting stares
Slow steps, resonating laughs
Hidden smiles, acting tough
Graceful twirls, heeled spins
Loving waltz, pretty sins
Faces inch close, on her tiptoes
A sprinkle of glitter, under the mistletoe
But time, oh so cruel, takes its toll
Spirits diverge, its ultimate goal
Away they go
One heaven, one hell
Never to meet again
But feelings still dwell
Blinking stars, fading out
Darkness swallows, leaves no doubt
Falling then, in his arms
Safety, warmth, home and hearth
Falling now, no strings attached
Endless crevice, humourless mirth
Silence prevails once again
Awkward, to say the least
