Hey guys! So this poem kinda has a sad ring to it. Yeah, I don't know where the idea came from, it just appeared. This is basically the story of Cinderella (from her POV), but the opposite. They danced, but only one of them fell in love.  This is particularly short compared to my other poems, but I feel like this one has equal meaning. ....If that makes sense at all. Thanks for reading :)

I stood there, locked in a trance.

As he asked me, "May I have this dance?"

The whole time

The stars shined

As the snow fell.

That wasn't the only thing falling. 

Looking deeper and deeper into his golden brown eyes

I realized

Everything I ever dreamed of

Was right there in front of me.

Almost too real to believe.

I was right.

The dream faded

The sweet lullaby he sung

Became a bitter truth.

 "Was it ever me?"

I cried.

"Yes, once upon a time."

He lied. 

Who would have ever thought

You could gain a broken heart

From just a dance?

A simple dance

Lingering, the blindness

Of what I perceived 

To be happiness.

Oh, I was dumb.

At times, aren't we all?

Especially when you fall in love

From just a dance.
