My Heartstrings

I had her shoe in hand
Her fragrance hesitant to leave the room
The clock  had struck midnight 
And my Cinderella left my heart
Leaving me clinging to the memories I had of her

See, she came with the promise to love
One of a kind, pure like a dove 
But all she did was dance and make merry
For by midnight she had to hurry

As fast as she came, she left
In anguish i cried out loud and wept
The chord on my heart strings 
Turned from a ballard to a dirge
And each pluck of the string took me back to my oblivion
Where love was a distant past and an improbale future
