Same song, Same dance

Same song, Same dance

A Poem by PhoenixWhite
"

a guy, a girl who just can't get it right

"
I'm happiest when I'm with you
Funny, though, I'm saddest too

When you are gone, it's like I die
And when you leave, I always cry

I have loved you far too long
We keep doing the same dance,
Singing the same song

I want you gone
But, I want you in my arms.
This is what happens
When I am caught up in your charms

At some point this has to end
Either we both turn and walk away
Or embrace and start again

I'd like to think I have the solution
The thing to make this right
But what won't fix it is
You staying out all night

2 wrongs don't make a right
We've known this way too long
If it did, we'd never repeat
The same dance, same song

One of us has to be strong enough
To turn on one heel and leave
Or one of us have to be strong enough 
To run to the other and believe

Trust is something to build on
Love, we already have
Commitment we must work on
Forever, we don't have

A dress, a cake and a fancy suit
This is a dream, of course
A different dress, a eulogy, another fancy suit
means we have run our course.

I want to love you forever
But, my word, it seems so long!
It'd be nice if we could get off this dance floor
Stop dancing to this same song

If you love me like you say you do
There is only one choice to make.
If I love me, like I think I do
There is only one road to take.

But I can't take that route
because I have been charged to love you
I can't lose that part of me
That part of me, that is you.

This game we play has lasted way too long
let's do what we want
do a different dance, play a different song
