The music thumped loudly
the alcohol was taking effect on everyone
What a feeling
	so high
		so fun
Crowds moving throughout the house
Pushing, shoving, dancing, laughing
Most of all free
Blindly moving from face to face
	laugh to cry
		drink to drink
	from...WAIT!
In the kitchen
who, when, how?
My heart instantly racing
	my eyes watery
		the alcohol exaggerating it all
On the table dancing
Her hips moving like mechanical pivots short fused
Her long blond hair lashing madly through the air
Her clothes accenting all the perfect aspects of her body
Her bare feet dirty from losing her shoes an hour before
In a mad panic of love and lust
	I lost myself
		totally
What was I to do?
Could I approach this angel?
I sat down to regain my balance and sanity
	from the site of this dancing beauty
For fear of being caught staring I closed my eyes
	just for a second
		at least I thought
I summoned the courage to look once more
But she was gone!
Everyone was gone
	all that was left were empty bottles
		garbage, overfilled ashtrays
A person passed out on the floor next to me
Hazy air filled the room
Daylight peering in the window
What a tragic loss
Self inflicted pain
