And The Band Played On

Lights low, a table for two,
a sad love song being sung.
Missing long overdue lover,
sadness this night has brung.

Mood becomes meloncholy,
tears glisten in soft blue light.
Candle flickers, people dance,
oblivious to saddened plight.

What joy found when we met,
with passing hours disappears.
Background laughter muffles,
sobs mid onslaught of tears.

This was our place, ours alone,
where love was first embraced.
Heartache overshadows music,
from your heart I am now erased.
