Illusion

The glitter,

the shimmer.

The heels, 

the gloss.

A little laughter,

a whole lot of fun.

A flood of people,

breathless yet dancing.

They can't possibly stop and

defeat the music that blasts.

Even small things seem funny and

everyone is loved.

A lot of liquid and some fizz

but I spot smoke too.

Make-up is off by now,

and sweat trickling down.

One would think it won't end

But it's too soon....

The daylight brings with it,

some memories,

few regrets and

a whole lot of stories to tell.

But wasn't it all just an illusion after all?
