I push aside the curtain
My dress is hot and heavy
I raise my mask to my face
The masquerade ball is warm and crowded
I feel the perspiration growing on the nape of my neck
Masked women push past me
To greet their friends
The dresses swirl around me
As woman dance with others
I step on the hem of a dress
The fabric tears beneath my heel
I reach down for the scrap
The rosy red velvet is soft to the touch
The air is suddenly suffocating
I can barely breath
Down I fall
I black out before I can hit the ground
Falling down into the darkness
Swimming through the dark
With a thud
I hit the ground
But not the ballroom floor
Cold stone lies beneath me
I pull myself to my feet
And look around the floor
Stone pillars tower around me
Their peaks reaching to the moon
Geometric shapes made of stone
Lay around the floor
I see a doorway
I rush to it praying for a way out
Beyond that doorway
I will find a way
To get back to the ball
Before anyone noticed my absence
Reaching the door
I find it a disappointment
Outside there is a cold grey sky
And a pyramid who's peak reaches to the sky
I rush around the room
Looking for the way I came
In a dark shadowy corner
A woman lays crying
It is the woman whose dress I stepped on
Her dress is just the same
But the tears soak her dress
Causing it to moisten
She is alone
No one is around
Except for me
We are alone
I walked slowly over to her
Slowly so I do not startle her
She does not stir or make a sound
Besides her quiet sobbing
My heart is sadden by this sight
She is sad and alone
I reach out to comfort her
But as my reach to touch her shoulder
I feel myself falling
Down and down
Into the black
Swimming in the darkness
I wake once again on the hard ballroom floor
Everyone is laughing and milling around
As if nothing has happened
I must find that woman
I need to know her story
I need to help her with her pain
I must find her
But when I look around she is nowhere to be found
Pushing past others
I search the room
For a sight of that pained woman
But I cannot find her anywhere
I must know her story
I must know why she cried
Where I was, why she was there
Why she was
Alone
My dress is hot and heavy
I raise my mask to my face
The masquerade ball is warm and crowded
I feel the perspiration growing on the nape of my neck
Masked women push past me
To greet their friends
The dresses swirl around me
As woman dance with others
I step on the hem of a dress
The fabric tears beneath my heel
I reach down for the scrap
The rosy red velvet is soft to the touch
The air is suddenly suffocating

Down I fall
I black out before I can hit the ground
Falling down into the darkness
Swimming through the dark

Alone
Im not sure how this came to me, lately I just feel so alone no matter how many others surround me.
