And the music fades


			They all dance happily away from me -
			They pair up, 
			Or go in groups,
			Dancing further and further away,
			Leaving me in a space
			Once filled with friendship and love -
			Empty now,
			Except for me -
			Curled up 
			In the middle of the vast space,
			Turbulent emotions
			Battering against the inside of my skull.
