Alone on the dance floor

Alone on the dance floor

A Poem by Zeba Syed
"

This poem is been written at the most vulnerable state, hence the rawness . So it has no structure, dint follow any poem-protocols. There is always next time fr that. Enjoy!!

"

Alone was I when you where by my side,

Alone I am when you are gone.

Alone was not what I signed for,

Alloy of joy and wonders they said.

Wrong where they, wronged was I,

Of all the years of dwelling amongst unbelievers,

Like a ray of sun in the cold winters,

You smiled your way to my heart,

Then tore away with spades and daggers.

All was for naught; you turned to be amongst the unbelievers,

Should have showed a sign, sigh!!

Alone I stand in the dance floor,

Searching in the dark for those beautiful eyes,

Knowing in the heart of hearts they will never return.

Gone are the days when happiness was a whole,

Gone are the days when colors were enjoyed,

Gone are the days of prettiness and blush.

Here I stand, alone outstretched on the dance floor, teary eyed, a slush.

Self infliction, pitied!

The sympathizer became the sympathy.

Wounds are healed, hallelujah metabolism,

What about the deep gash? Emotion aint no organism.

Question unanswered to where was I wrong,

Or is the question right, person wrong.

Been long lingering yet in the dance floor,

Waiting for the prince to hold and lead me on.

For I know I am abandoned, long gone is he,

For  I know I have to live with only residual memory,

Though I still stand waiting all alone on the dance floor.

I enjoyed and I liked the poetry. Reminded me of old songs and wishes.
"For I know I am abandoned, long gone is he,
For I know I have to live with only residual memory,
Though I still stand waiting all alone on the dance floor."
The above lines create visions and loneliness for the reader. Thank you for sharing the amazing poetry.

You have not abondoned the hope.
That's great.
Being optimistic is the best option.
I hope the prince will hold and lead you to the dream home.
Fix the spelling errors:(for example)
when you where by my side:-where->were
