dance steps on the marble floors
still echo off the walls
music that's almost forgotten
whispers through the halls
pillars holding vaulted ceilings
no longer sparkling white
tattered torn and misbegotten
what was once ornate delight
dusty tables are scattered broken
chairs are thrown askew
joyful memories start to fade
as they feel no longer new
a space once crowded warm and bright
has lost its quaintness in the night
now that the parties over
all the people have gone home
shadows fill the empty spaces
where happiness once shone
