Dancer

We’ve done this dance so many times
Too many times to count
I’ll give you my heart on step 3
And wait for it to be returned
You’ll twirl me around
Lie to my face
And then kiss me
We dance backwards for a few steps
And I let your hands go
I dance alone for a while
Before you rush back to me
Assuring that things didn’t have to be this way
You hold me in an embrace
Your gaze piercing into my soul
I watch you intently
Content with our dynamic
And then I wait for you to make the next move
The songs rages on
I nudge you ever so slightly to continue
And we miss our cue
My irritation increases
While you gloss over it
I attempt to lead us
But fail miserably
And I finally realize that you no longer want to
Monotonously we circle the dance floor
Repeating moves that no longer match the song
We’re nearing it’s end
And for the finale
You hold me into the air
And though it hurts,
I look at you lovingly all the same
Now it’s time for you to let me down and
You’re gone
The music’s gone
I crash to the ground with a sickening thud
And with it,
My dreams crash too
So I sit on the cold floor
Collecting whatever pieces I may
And I wait for the song to start up again
For you to walk through those doors
And for us to dance yet again

The Relationships Waltz has always been very popular. Not sure why.
