Once bright shining silk
Haunted ghosts of memory
By withered hands stroked
…………..
Tattered lace ribbons
Shredded by times vagaries
Adorn her prom dress
…….
Blooded knife held tight
Grasped in arthritic knuckles
Just one final song
……….
One macabre waltz
Across crimson stained dance floor…
Sweet Memory plays
