We dance
step by step, beat by beat
to the rhythm of broken dreams.
Linked
we twirl and bend and fall
tears streak down hollow cheeks.
Worn out soles
and ragged feet
buckle calves tightly wound.
Eyes glossed over
in painful pasts
spin sorrow refusing to drown.
At the end of this bright tunnel of love
darkness waits alone.
This song will end
the dance will fade
my heart will decompose.
